Audi RS3 (8Y) Canards
3 products
Audi RS3 canards go on a different end of the car depending on its year. For 2022–2024 RS3s there's a 4-piece front bumper set in pre-preg carbon, and for the 2025-on 8Y.5 there are rear bumper canards.
The 8Y.5 sedan aero kit shows up here too, because it includes lower rear corner splitters. Looking for carbon on the front of a facelift car? See the RS3 front lips and splitters.

Audi RS3 canards for 2022–2024: the front set
The pre-facelift front canards are a set of four for the corners of the 2022–2024 front bumper, in pre-preg carbon with a high-gloss UV-resistant clear coat. Each piece has pre-drilled holes and the screws are supplied. The listing advises a professional installer and, for the firmest hold, taking the bumper off first. The set is listed for pre-facelift cars only. For 2025 Audi reworked the front with larger intakes and a full-width factory splitter, and nothing on this page is listed for that bumper.
Rear bumper canards for the 8Y.5
On 2025-on cars the carbon moves to the back. The 8Y.5 rear bumper canards are a custom design for the facelift rear bumper, which Audi redesigned around a new RS diffuser with vertical reflectors. Their listing calls them vents as well as canards and doesn't state how they mount, so ask us before you book the work.
The two sets are described differently: the front set as pre-preg carbon, the rear set as carbon fiber with a UV-resistant clear coat, so read each product page before you compare them. Test-fit either set before you drill, paint or fix anything. If a set doesn't fit the RS3 named on its product page, get in touch before fitting it and the fitment guarantee covers sending it back.
Frequently asked questions
Are there front canards for a 2025 RS3?
Not on this page. The front canard set is listed for 2022–2024 bumpers only, and the 8Y.5 front end is different, with bigger intakes and a factory splitter across the full width. For carbon on the nose of a facelift car, look at the 8Y.5 splitters and our S1 Pro lip instead.
How do the pre-facelift RS3 front canards mount?
With the supplied screws, through holes that are already drilled in each piece. With the front bumper off, every canard can be secured from behind, which is how the listing suggests fitting them, and it advises a professional installer. Try each piece against the bumper before any screw goes in: fitted parts can't be returned.
Why is the RS3 sedan aero kit listed with the canards?
It includes lower rear corner splitters for the rear bumper. The kit is our own design for the 8Y.5 sedan in pre-preg dry carbon, and it also brings a one-piece front splitter, side skirt extensions and a rear diffuser. If you only want carbon on the rear bumper of a 2025-on car, the rear bumper canards are the stand-alone choice.
