Used Audi A5 Bonnet

The first-generation Audi A5 (B8 platform) ran from 2007 to 2016, with a facelift arriving in 2011 that brought revised lights, grille and front-end styling. Bonnets from within the pre-facelift period (2007–2011) should interchange with each other, and bonnets from within the post-facelift period (2011–2016) should interchange with each other, as the front-end panels are shared across body styles within each phase. If you are sourcing a bonnet that crosses that 2011 facelift boundary, confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying, as the panel shape may differ.

These two cars sit either side of the B8 facelift, which occurred in 2011, so they are likely to have different bonnet profiles. It is possible in some cases for pre- and post-facelift bonnets to share the same pressing, but this is not something we can state as fact for the A5. Check with the breaker, quoting both registration numbers, so they can verify whether the panels match before you commit.

For the Audi A5, the bonnet is a front-end panel shared across body styles within the same generation and facelift period, so a bonnet from a Coupe, Sportback or Cabriolet of the same phase should be the same pressing. Door count and roof style do not affect bonnet fitment here. Always confirm the model year and facelift status with the breaker to make sure you are matching the right phase.

Trim level does not affect bonnet fitment on the Audi A5 — the panel itself is the same pressing regardless of whether the donor car was SE, S Line, Black Edition or any other grade. The main thing to be aware of is that some trim variants may have had different bonnet finishes, badges or optional features such as a forward-facing camera, so check the specific panel with the breaker to avoid cosmetic surprises. As long as generation and facelift period match, trim is not a barrier to fitment.

The second-generation Audi A5 (B9 platform) launched in 2016 and remains in production, with a facelift introduced in 2019 bringing updated lighting and grille design. Bonnets from within the pre-facelift B9 period (2016–2019) should interchange with each other, and post-facelift B9 bonnets (2019 onwards) should interchange within their phase. If a bonnet crosses the 2019 facelift boundary, confirm with the breaker against your registration, as the panel profiles may not match.

The bonnet panel itself is not directly affected by headlight type, but there can be subtle differences in the front-end assembly between headlight variants within a generation that may be relevant to overall fit. We cannot confirm as fact whether bonnets interchange freely between xenon and LED headlight variants of the same A5 phase, so it is worth mentioning your headlight type to the breaker when enquiring. They can cross-reference the part against your registration to make sure everything aligns.
