Used Audi A5 Quarter Panel

The A5 ran in two main generations: the first generation (8T/8F) covered 2007 to 2016, and the second generation (F5) ran from 2016 onwards. Quarter panels are body-style and generation-specific, so a panel from the first-gen 8T will not fit a second-gen F5. Stick to sourcing within the correct generation for your car.

Both a 2013 and a 2015 A5 fall within the first-generation 8T/8F range (2007–2016), so they share the same basic platform. However, the first-gen A5 received a facelift in 2011 which brought subtle pressing changes to some exterior panels, so confirm with the breaker that the specific panel from your donor car matches your registration before buying.

Yes, body style is the most important factor — the A5 Coupé (2-door), Sportback (5-door hatchback), and Cabriolet each have completely different quarter panel pressings and are not interchangeable with one another. Always tell the breaker exactly which body style your car is, not just the A5 name. A panel listed simply as 'A5' without a body style confirmed is not safe to buy.

Trim level — whether your car is an SE, Sport, S Line, Black Edition, or any other grade — does not affect quarter panel fitment, as the underlying pressing is the same across all trims. What can differ is the paint code, and S Line or Black Edition cars may have had factory aero additions close to the panel that affect the finish you see once fitted. Confirm your paint code with the breaker to avoid a visible mismatch.

No — the first-generation 8T/8F (2007–2016) and second-generation F5 (2016–onwards) are entirely different platforms with different body structures, so their quarter panels are not interchangeable. Always source a panel from the correct generation, and confirm this against your registration with the breaker.

Yes, NS (nearside, passenger side, kerb side in the UK) and OS (offside, driver side) quarter panels are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. Always specify clearly which side you need when contacting a breaker, and double-check the listing confirms the correct side before agreeing a purchase.
