Audi RS3 (8V) Widebody Kit, AI Render

What a Widebody Kit Does to the Audi RS3 (8V)

The widebody RS3 look comes from a race car. Audi's RS3 LMS is the TCR touring car built on this 8V sedan: boxed fender flares, a deep splitter and a big rear wing, with 350 hp through the front wheels. Audi sold it to customer teams at around $100,000 and delivered more than 90 in its first season. Road-car widebody kits for the 2017–2020 RS3 (8V) copy that shape, and most of what is for sale falls into three groups. First, bolt-over wide fender sets in FRP or carbon fibre, sold mostly by Chinese makers through eBay and Alibaba and often listed simply as Audi RS3 wide body kit; they add width at the arches and need cutting and blending. Second, full-car aero systems in dry carbon, such as the TAKD full body kit for the 2017-on RS3 8V sold through Performance SpeedShop, which change the bumpers, skirts and spoiler but add little width. Third, UK-made conversion kits from Xenonz, which lists a widebody kit upgrade for the 2016–2020 RS3 8V alongside its A3/S3 8V kit of splitter, fenders, side skirts and rear spoiler. One caution before you shop: a lot of RS3 widebody listings mix the 8V sedan, the 8V hatchback and the 2022-on 8Y, and the panels do not swap between them. This page is the 8V sedan; the RS3 8Y has its own page.

Budgeting a RS3 (8V) Widebody Kit Build

Treat these as estimates, because unlike the Soarer or Fit pages we could not read a single verified price for an RS3 8V widebody kit on 2026-10-13. What we could read: Xenonz UK's A3/S3 8V widebody kit (splitter, fenders, side skirts, rear spoiler) is listed at £3,869.99 including VAT, about $5,000, before the £1,000 express shipping it quotes to Europe. Its RS3 8V upgrade kit sits in the same family. Generic carbon wide fender sets for the RS3 on eBay run around $4,450 shipped from China. DarwinPRO's hand-built carbon widebody kits for larger Audis run $9,730–$17,810, which shows the ceiling for a branded carbon kit. From there the build follows the same pattern as any widebody. The flares are cut and blended into the body, then filled and painted to match the factory colour, commonly $1,500–$3,000 on a car this size. Then come wheels and tyres wide enough to fill the new arches on the 5x112 bolt pattern, and coilovers or air to sit the car on them. A painted, finished widebody RS3 is realistically a $10,000–$20,000 project on top of the car, with the carbon route at the top of that range. Be honest with yourself about the 2.5-litre five-cylinder: it makes 400 hp stock, so the LMS look on a road car is cosmetic, and the money is better spent on the kit fit than on power.

Try it on your RS3 (8V) before you spend

Boxed flares on a sedan this short can look like the LMS or like a bad kit, and the difference is mostly proportion and colour. Upload a photo of your own RS3, choose widebody kit, and see the flared arches on the real car in about 30 seconds before you order FRP from the other side of the world.

RS3 (8V) Widebody Kit, FAQ

Is there a widebody kit for the Audi RS3 8V?

Yes, in three forms. Bolt-over wide fender sets in FRP or carbon from Chinese makers (eBay and Alibaba). Dry-carbon full body kits such as TAKD's for the 2017-on RS3 8V. And UK conversion kits from Xenonz, which lists a widebody kit upgrade for the 2016–2020 RS3 8V. Check whether a listing is for the 8V sedan, the 8V hatch or the 2022-on 8Y before ordering; the panels do not interchange.

How much does a widebody Audi RS3 cost?

Our estimate is $10,000–$20,000 on top of the car for a painted, finished build. Verified reference points: Xenonz UK's A3/S3 8V widebody kit is £3,869.99 including VAT plus about £1,000 shipping to Europe. Generic carbon RS3 wide fender sets are around $4,450 on eBay. Paint and blending on a car this size commonly adds $1,500–$3,000, then wheels and suspension. We could not verify a price for the RS3 8V kit itself.

What is the Audi RS3 LMS and can I make my RS3 look like it?

The RS3 LMS is Audi's TCR touring race car based on the 8V sedan: boxed flares, big splitter, rear wing, 350 hp, front-wheel drive, sold to teams for around $100,000, with over 90 delivered in its first season. Road-car widebody kits copy its shape. A quattro road car with flares, a splitter and a wing gets the look; the race car's chassis and aero are not for sale as a kit.

What wheels fit a widebody RS3 8V?

The RS3 8V uses a 5x112 bolt pattern. Stock wheels are 19-inch, and flared arches open room for wider 19- or 20-inch wheels with a lower offset to fill the flares. The exact width depends on the kit's added width and the ride height, so measure after the flares are fitted and before buying a set.

Will a widebody kit fit both the RS3 sedan and the RS3 hatchback?

Usually not. The 8V sedan and the 8V Sportback hatchback share a front end but have different rear quarters, so rear flares and bumper pieces are body-specific. Listings often say 8V without saying which, so confirm the body style with the seller. The 2022-on RS3 8Y is a different car again and has its own page here.
