This guide covers what's actually available for the 8Y-generation A3/S3/RS3 — Sportback and Saloon — what it costs, and how it's installed.

Watch the Full Package
Here's a closer look at the RS3 8Y carbon fibre package as fitted by KITS UK:
Sportback vs Saloon: What's Available
The 8Y generation is sold in two body styles, and carbon fibre availability differs between them — check which one applies to your car before ordering:
| Body Style | Part | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Sportback | Full carbon fibre package (diffuser, splitter, side skirt extensions & spoiler) | £3,399–£3,759 |
| Saloon | Carbon fibre spoiler — PS Style | £279.99 |
| Saloon | Carbon fibre spoiler — CT Design | £259–£304 |
Prices may change over time — check the live product pages at kits.style for current pricing.
What's Included in the Full Package
The Sportback carbon fibre package is a complete exterior transformation, built as a coordinated set rather than individual add-ons:
- Aggressive multi-piece front splitter
- Side skirt extensions
- Ultra-aggressive rear diffuser
- Rear spoiler
Every panel is genuine pre-preg carbon fibre — autoclave-cured for a rigid, lightweight finish, not a carbon-effect vinyl or ABS moulding.
Pre-preg carbon fibre is stiffer and lighter than the glass-fibre or ABS parts used in most budget kits, and the weave stays sharp and glossy rather than fading or yellowing over time — the difference is most obvious close up, where cheaper carbon-look panels give themselves away.
DIY vs Professional Fitting
Because this is a multi-piece package covering the front, sides, and rear of the car, most owners choose professional fitting to guarantee correct alignment across every panel.
| Approach | Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| DIY (Supply Only) | Half day+ | Experienced fitters comfortable with multi-panel alignment |
| Professional Fitting | Same day | Anyone wanting a guaranteed, factory-line finish across the full package |

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the full carbon fibre package fit the Saloon as well as the Sportback?
No — the full package is built specifically for the Sportback body style. Saloon owners can fit the standalone carbon fibre spoiler (available in PS Style or CT Design), with more Saloon-specific parts added to the range over time.
Is this genuine carbon fibre or a carbon-look finish?
Genuine pre-preg carbon fibre, autoclave-cured — not a carbon-effect vinyl wrap or ABS moulding.
Can I buy individual pieces instead of the full package?
The Sportback set is currently sold as a complete package. Saloon owners can buy the spoiler as a standalone part. Contact us if you're looking for a specific piece and we'll confirm what's available.
How long does fitting take?
The full package typically takes half a day or more due to the number of panels involved — professional fitting at our West Yorkshire workshop is usually completed same-day.
Final Thoughts
The Audi RS3 8Y carbon fibre package is a serious investment, but it's a complete, coordinated transformation rather than a piecemeal upgrade — genuine pre-preg carbon across the front, sides, and rear in one fitting. Saloon owners can get started with the standalone spoiler and build from there as more parts become available.
