Dry Carbon Fiber Front Side Air Vents for 2016–2019 Audi R8 Gen2
Designed for selected 2016–2019 Audi R8 Gen2 (Type 4S) pre-facelift applications, these dry carbon fiber front side air vents add exposed carbon detailing around the lower front bumper while following the sharp intake-focused styling of the second-generation R8.
The front bumper is one of the most distinctive areas of the Gen2 R8, and replacing or covering the factory vent area with carbon fiber creates a more focused appearance without changing the overall shape of the front end.

Vehicle Fitment
Vehicle: Audi R8 Gen2 / Type 4S
Model Years: 2016–2019
Engine: Selected V10 applications
Body Style: Coupe / Spyder – confirm vehicle-specific compatibility before ordering
Generation: Pre-facelift
Fitment may vary by model year, front bumper configuration and trim. Because Audi updated the R8 exterior around the facelift transition, customers with a 2019 vehicle should compare the original bumper and front vent shape carefully before ordering.
If your vehicle is the later facelift version, browse our 2019–2024 Audi R8 Gen2 Facelift carbon fiber parts collection instead of assuming these pre-facelift front vents will fit.
Dry Carbon Fiber Construction
These Audi R8 Type 4S carbon fiber front side air vents feature an exposed carbon weave with a high-gloss UV-resistant clear finish. Dry carbon construction provides a clean, lightweight exterior upgrade suitable for owners looking to add carbon detailing to the front of the vehicle.
The glossy carbon surface complements other exterior carbon components such as front lips, side skirts, rear diffusers and spoilers while maintaining the original R8 body lines.
Front-End Styling for the Audi R8 Gen2
The second-generation Audi R8 uses large front intake openings and angular bumper details to create a wider and more aggressive appearance than the earlier Type 42 generation. These carbon fiber front side air vent scoops highlight that factory design by adding contrast around the lower front bumper.
This product is intended primarily as an exterior styling upgrade. No aerodynamic, downforce or fuel-economy benefit is claimed unless specifically supported by product testing.
Installation
Installation method depends on the exact product design and original bumper surface. Test-fit both sides before final installation and confirm that the vent contours match the factory bumper correctly.
If the product uses adhesive mounting, clean and prepare the installation area carefully before applying the supplied automotive-grade tape. Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure about alignment or surface preparation.
Confirm Fitment Before Ordering
Before purchasing, confirm your vehicle year, Type 4S generation, pre-facelift front bumper design and Coupe or Spyder configuration. If your R8 has a different bumper, aftermarket front conversion or facelift front-end components, compatibility should be checked separately.
If you are unsure, send us clear photos of the front bumper and both side vent areas together with your vehicle year and model configuration. Our team can help confirm fitment before ordering.
