Bolt Free Carbon Winglets That Do Not Cut Into the Bumper
This is the German Rush winglets for the 2007-2015 Audi R8 1st Gen Type 42, molded in genuine carbon fiber and built as a direct replacement for the front bumper corner surfaces. Part GR8CFGTWL0714 adds the canard look without the slots and holes the factory canards require, and it installs on the original mounting points on Coupe and Spyder bodies with the V8 and V10. The visible surface is a 2x2 weave under a gloss UV resistant clear coat chosen to match factory carbon trim, so it blends with carbon parts already on the car.
Key Features
- Part GR8CFGTWL0714, genuine carbon fiber winglets for the 2007-2015 Audi R8, supplied as 2, left and right
- Mounts with high strength 3M double sided tape and adhesive promoter, so the front bumper does not need to be cut or drilled
- Tested at high speed to stay attached, unlike tape on accents made for show use only
- Vacuum formed rather than hand laid, which produces a consistent weave pattern and a dense, void free laminate
- Factory correct 2x2 weave under a deep gloss UV resistant clear coat that meets or exceeds most OEM finish requirements
- Manufactured in the United States in Lake Elsinore, California

About German Rush
German Rush builds carbon fiber and fiberglass parts for exotic and European performance cars in Lake Elsinore, California. Every carbon panel is vacuum formed rather than hand laid, which is why the weave stays consistent from panel to panel and why the finish is specified as a 2x2 weave with a gloss clear coat similar to the carbon fiber the factory fitted. The range covers the Audi R8, the Lamborghini Aventador and Huracan, and the Jaguar F-Type, so a car can be built up in matching carbon over time.

FAQ
What is the GR8CFGTWL0714?
It is the German Rush winglets for the 2007-2015 Audi R8, supplied as 2, left and right and built as a direct replacement for the front bumper corner surfaces.
Do I need to cut or drill my bumper like the factory canards?
No. These winglets attach to the outside of the bumper with 3M double sided tape and adhesive promoter, so the factory canard slots and holes are not needed.
Will they stay on at speed?
German Rush tests this mounting method at very high speed and it is designed not to release. Surface prep matters, so the bumper must be clean, dry, and above the tape working temperature when they are applied.
How many pieces come in the set?
The set covers both sides of the car with a left and a right winglet.
Is this real carbon fiber or a carbon look finish?
It is genuine carbon fiber. The visible surface is a 2x2 weave finished in a gloss UV resistant clear coat chosen to sit alongside the carbon trim the factory fitted.
What is the advantage of vacuum forming over hand laid parts?
Vacuum forming compacts the laminate under pressure, which removes voids and keeps the weave straight across the panel. The result is a denser part with more repeatable thickness and a more consistent surface than a hand laid panel.
Does installation require cutting or drilling?
No. It mounts to the outside of the factory surface with 3M double sided tape and adhesive promoter, so no holes are needed.
Can it be painted or wrapped instead?
Yes. Pre fit the part to the car and confirm alignment before any paint, vinyl, or extra clear coat is applied, because a finished surface is much harder to correct afterwards.
Where is it made?
It is manufactured in the United States, in Lake Elsinore, California, where German Rush molds its carbon and fiberglass parts.
How should the shipment be checked on arrival?
Inspect the carton and the part before signing for the delivery. Note any crushed, torn, punctured, or broken condition on the freight bill in the driver's presence, because concealed damage found later is much harder to claim.
Installation Instructions
- Unpack the part, inspect it for transit damage, and confirm that part GR8CFGTWL0714 matches the 2007-2015 Audi R8 application before any work starts.
- Park on a level surface and make the work area accessible, raising and supporting the car on stands or a lift when the part sits low on the body.
- Wash and dry the surrounding panels so grit does not scratch either part during the swap.
- Test fit the part in position and mark the location with low tack tape.
- Clean the mounting surface with a suitable prep solvent and apply the adhesive promoter as directed.
- Remove the liner from the double sided tape, set the part against the marked location, and press firmly along the full contact area.
- Hold the part in place with tape while the adhesive builds strength, and keep the car dry during that period.
- Repeat on the opposite side of the car and check that both sides sit at the same height and angle.
- Remove the holding tape once the adhesive has cured and clean the surrounding paint.
- Recheck the edges after the first drive and press down any lifted corner immediately.
