Default Fender lip protection installed.

Hi,

I was originally going to install the complete fender flare "Offroad Kit" but the parts did not fit up front without a whole new front bumper cap. I have a 2016 Audi Q5 3.0 TFSI (non-Sline).

Instead, I opted for the "Wing Extensions" or as I call them fender lip protectors. I purchased them from ECS Tuning - Audi part no. 8R00716814U8.

They go on easy - just be sure to heat up the fender (up front) or bumper cap (rear) good with a heat gun and use your favourite product to clean and degrease the spots. The clips are a bit tough to engage - be sure you actually grab the fender.

Here is the installed look:


Front right - angle.


Front right - from behind.


Front right - top center wheel arch,


Right rear - angle.


Right rear from behind.


Right rear - from front.

Got this on our S-line or at least something really similar. Amazing how well it works for such a narrow strip. We live on a dirt road [1/2 mile to H/W] and the wife's Q5 always looks a lot cleaner than my truck with its huge mudflaps. Of course, my ATR tires tend to throw a bit more mud . . .

Are those the same ones found on the SQ5?

Thank you for sharing this good option to protect around the wheel wells. You did an excellent job, and they look really good.
