Used Audi A7 Boot Lid

The first-generation A7 Sportback (C7 platform) ran from 2010 to 2018, with a facelift in 2014 that introduced revised rear styling including changes to the bootlid pressing and integrated spoiler profile. Parts from within the pre-facelift 2010–2014 range should be direct swaps for other pre-facelift cars, and the same applies within the post-facelift 2014–2018 range, but crossing that 2014 boundary is not guaranteed — confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying. The second-generation A7 (C8 platform) launched in 2018 and is a completely different car, so C8 lids will not fit a C7.

This question crosses the 2014 facelift boundary within the C7 generation, and the rear body pressing did change at that point, so a 2013 (pre-facelift) lid is unlikely to be a straight swap onto a 2016 (post-facelift) car. You should confirm with the breaker, quoting both registrations, before proceeding. Within each side of the facelift the lids are generally interchangeable, but never assume without checking.

No — despite sharing the C7 platform with the A6, the A7 is a five-door Sportback fastback with a distinctive raked tailgate and integrated spoiler, which is a completely different pressing from the A6 saloon or estate bootlid. Body style is the primary fitment factor here, and the A7's Sportback body is unique within the range. Always source a lid specifically listed for the A7 Sportback.

Trim level does not affect bootlid fitment on the A7 — the pressing is the same across Sport, S Line, and Black Edition variants. However, you may find cosmetic differences such as spoiler finish, badge holes, or primer versus pre-painted surfaces depending on what the breaker is supplying, so check those details when you get your quote. Engine choice makes no difference whatsoever to fitment.

The C8-generation A7 Sportback launched in 2018 and is completely different from the C7 it replaced, so always specify C8 or 2018-onwards when contacting breakers. There were also running production changes possible within the C8 generation that could affect panel details, so give breakers your exact registration rather than just a year to be safe. This is the most reliable way to avoid being sent a non-fitting panel.

It does not affect whether the lid physically fits, but it does affect cost and preparation — bare metal or primed lids will need painting to match your car's colour code, while a pre-painted lid from a matching colour donor car can sometimes be used with minimal work. When getting quotes through Findapart, ask the breaker to confirm the colour code (found on a sticker inside your door shut or under the bonnet) and the condition of the rear camera or number plate light cutouts, as these vary. Fitment itself depends on generation and body style, not paint.
