Audi R8 Gen 1 (2006-2015) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Side Skirt
Engineered for Audi R8 Gen 1 (2006-2015) owners, this Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Fiber Side Skirt set gives your supercar's side profile a track-grade, ground-hugging stance. Made to factory-spec tolerances by leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Audi R8 Gen 1 carbon side skirt set bolts directly to OEM mounting points - no cutting, no drilling. Supplied as a left + right pair.
If you want to exceed the factory plastic side skirt in both performance and finish, this autoclave-cured prepreg set is built for you. Compatible across all Audi R8 Gen 1 trims - V8 4.2 FSI (420 hp), V10 5.2 FSI (525 hp), V10 Plus (550 hp), R8 GT (560 hp) - the part honors R8 LMS racing DNA with a low rocker silhouette that pulls the car's visual mass closer to the ground.
Key Features
- Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Pre-impregnated carbon plies cured in autoclave under high heat and pressure ensure a more consistent weave and balanced resin distribution.
- Left + Right Set: Two pieces, driver and passenger sides.
- Lightweight Construction: Noticeably lighter than the factory side skirt.
- Side Profile Aerodynamics: Low rocker geometry channels underbody airflow and contributes to side stability at speed.
- 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon pattern under high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
- Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play on factory Audi R8 Gen 1 side skirt mounting points.
- UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat resists fading, cracking, stone chips, and road grime.
Prepreg (Dry) Carbon vs. Wet Carbon - Which Is Better?
Most aftermarket carbon parts use wet lay-up, where resin is applied by hand and cured at room temperature - leaving voids and inconsistent weight. Prepreg (dry) carbon:
- Cured in autoclave under high heat and pressure - a more consistent weave
- A controlled resin ratio - lighter and stronger
- The production method widely chosen in motorsport
- Minimal UV fade over years of use
Installation Notes
Professional installation is recommended:
- Raise the vehicle safely.
- Loosen OEM side skirt clips with a plastic trim tool and remove the skirt.
- Clean the mounting surface with IPA.
- Dry-fit the carbon skirt; verify alignment at the front bumper and rear fender transitions.
- Secure with supplied bolts and clips to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
- Repeat on the opposite side and check for equal ride-height gap on both sides.
Care & Maintenance
Wash with pH-neutral car shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. Keep pressure washer nozzle at least 30 cm from the surface. PPF film recommended for the lower edge against stone chips.
FAQ
Does this fit Audi R8 Gen 2 (2015-2024)?
No. Gen 1 and Gen 2 have different side-skirt geometry. A separate Gen 2 (2015-2024) carbon side skirt is available in our catalog.
Compatible with Audi R8 Spyder (convertible)?
Yes. The Spyder Gen 1 shares identical side skirt geometry with the Coupé.
Difference between R8 V8 4.2 and V10 5.2?
No fitment difference. Side skirt geometry is identical across all Gen 1 trims.
Does this mount over or replace the OEM skirt?
This is a replacement part - the OEM side skirt is removed and the carbon part takes its place. Not an add-on.
Compatible with Lamborghini Huracán?
No. The Huracán shares the MLBevo platform with Gen 2 (2015-2024) only, and the rocker geometry differs from R8 either way.
Will rain damage dry carbon?
No. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon is fully waterproof and weather-resistant.
