Front lip for Audi A5 S5 8W6 — the splitter that grounds the car
This front lip for the restyled Audi A5 and S5 extends the bottom of the bumper with a glossy black 3-piece panel. It is specifically designed for the 8W6 chassis from 2021 to 2024, i.e., the phase 2 — the restyled bumper does not have the same design as the phase 1, and a phase 1 lip will not fit properly.
Why choose this 3-piece front splitter
- 3-piece kit: one central element and two side wings, the installation follows the curvature of the bumper instead of forcing it.
- Specific cut for the 8W6 restyled bumper: the cutouts follow the original chrome strip of the S-Line and S5 versions.
- Mass-tinted glossy black: the tint is in the material, a superficial scratch does not reveal clear plastic.
- Semi-flexible ABS: the lip withstands a low curb rub without snapping cleanly.
- Mixed adhesive and screw installation: no bumper cutting, reversible installation.
- Screws and double-sided tape provided, nothing else to buy.
What is a front lip for on an A5
A front lip, also called a splitter or bumper lip, extends the lower part of the bumper forward and downward. On a road car like the Audi A5, the aerodynamic effect remains secondary at legal speeds: what changes is the perception. The car looks lower and wider, the front gains aggressiveness, and the color break hides the height of the bumper. It is also the piece that best complements an S-Line pack or large-diameter wheels. Second benefit, more concrete: the lip acts as a sacrificial part on parking curbs, and can be replaced for a fraction of the price of a painted bumper.

Installation and maintenance
Allow 45 minutes to 1 hour, at a temperature above 15 °C. Start with a dry fit of the three pieces, protective film in place, and mark the alignment with masking tape: this is the step that avoids a lip that is two millimeters crooked, visible from afar. Degrease with isopropyl alcohol the entire bonding area — washing alone leaves a wax film that makes the adhesive fail at the first winter. Install the central element first, without repositioning, then the two side wings. Complete with the screws in the designated locations under the bumper. Press for 30 seconds on each section and do not wash the vehicle for 48 hours. On a daily basis, approach parking ramps diagonally: a front lip sits low, that is its whole purpose and all its fragility.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my A5 is a phase 2 8W6?
The 2020 restyle is recognizable by its redesigned bumpers and its horizontal signature lights. This lip covers the 2021 to 2024 models.
Do I need to drill the bumper?
No. The hold relies on a high-performance double-sided adhesive, complemented by screws placed under the bumper, invisible from the front.
Is a front lip approved?
A low-profile flexible lip remains tolerated, but French regulations govern protruding additions. Check before use on public roads.
Will it fit a 2018 A5?
No, the phase 1 bumper has a different design. There is a dedicated reference for the A5 B9 phase 1.
How much ground clearance is left after installation?
The lip goes down a few centimeters below the original bumper. On a non-lowered car, passage remains possible by approaching the ramps diagonally.
