LLTeK has just received long-awaited images of Audi A5 models modified by Hofele Design in Germany. They illustrate what is in the pipe and what can be expected from this German firm in terms of body kit styling. Although these stylings are not in production as of this writing, LLTeK will be accepting advance orders as soon as Hofele signals a green light on delivery - that date will be announced here as an update shortly.

In the meantime, LLTeK is pleased to offer up Hofele's R8-inspired vision of the Audi A5 coupe, cabriolet and sportback. Owners of the Audi A5 will have many aftermarket options aside from body kit styling through Hofele: this includes wheels, suspension and exhaust. Please note that although this conversion will apply across the Audi A5 lineup, there are exceptions (as usual) that will apply to the cabbie and S-Line model. LLTeK representatives will answer your questions about Hofele's R8 Look kit - call toll-free at 1 888 465 5835 - International calls will be answered at 001 514 733 6333.

Update - December 23 - Hofele has announced this styling kit is available for delivery.

Some of the components of the R8Look conversion are OEM parts - like the S5 grille pictured on the left; however tuners will have the option, in this case, of keeping the original A5 grille for use with the Hofele front bumper. The list of conversion components below has Audi OEM parts marked with a red asterisk*. Cars with adaptive cruise control (distance radar) should not be considered for conversion but Audi models with or without PDC and with or without headlight washers will fit up beautifully.

Components list for the R8Look conversion by Hofele for Audi A5

• front bumper lamellas*
• S5 grille* (optionally your A5 grille can be retained for use)
• vented side skirts (no fitment for S-line models)
• front fender air intakes
• rear apron diffusor (configured for single side or twin exhaust)
• full rear bumper incorporating R8 V10 diffusor, lamellas* and lighting*
• Hofele sport exhaust (quad oval tip mufflers) required with full rear bumper conversion
• R8Look side blades (paint option or carbon fiber) - fitment for S5 also
• MatchPaint Service (ready for install on delivery)

The current offering in the R8Look bumper does not accomodate the standard Audi A5 fog/driving lights. LLTeK and Hofele will likely offer LED lighting as one more option in this conversion. All MatchPaint-ed front bumpers from LLTeK are wired and bench tested as a bonus when lighting is integrated into your front bumper purchase. More pictures and pricing to follow.

Side blades (custom fit for the cabriolet - MatchPaint part or carbon fiber) and V10 diffusor make this machine. Unique!
