Rear parts complete R8 coupe 5.2 Fsi V10 year 2014 color blue

Model: Type 42 (Facelift / Gen 1.5)

Engine: 5.2L V10 FSI

Body Style: Coupe

Color: Blue (Factory Code: Sepang Blue Metallic – LY5Q)

The 2014 R8 Coupe facelift is a landmark model, being the first to feature Audi’s dynamic (scrolling) LED lighting and the revised rear fascia with large honeycomb vents and massive circular exhaust tips. Sourcing these parts in Sepang Blue (the most iconic facelift color) is ideal for a high-value restoration or conversion.

1. Aesthetic Body Components

• Rear Bumper Skin (Facelift V10): Part No. 420.807.061.C. Distinguishable by two large horizontal cooling slats (vs. the V8’s four).

• V10 Rear Diffuser: Usually finished in High-Gloss Black or Carbon Sigma. Features aggressive vertical fins for high-speed stability.

• Exhaust Finishers: Large, circular single-exit tips on each side. Note that on the 2014 model, these are integrated into the bumper/diffuser and are separate from the actual exhaust muffler.

• V10 Glass Engine Cover: Unlike the Spyder, the Coupe features a tempered glass lid (420.823.031.C) that displays the V10 engine.

2. Lighting (Facelift Dynamic LED)

These are the most sought-after upgrade parts for pre-facelift owners.

• Left Taillight (Dynamic): 420.945.095.L (Metric/EU) or 420.945.095.J (US).

   

• Right Taillight (Dynamic): 420.945.096.L (Metric/EU) or 420.945.096.J (US).

• Central Brake Light: Integrated into the rear spoiler lip (420.945.097.B).

3. Exhaust & Heat Management

• Main Silencer (V10 S-Tronic): Part No. 420.251.051.TX. Specifically tuned for the 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission introduced in late 2013/2014.

• Heat Shielding: A “complete” kit must include the primary aluminum shields (420.825.671) that prevent the Sepang Blue paint from bubbling due to the $5.2\text{L}$ V10’s extreme heat.

Key Installation Differences: Coupe vs. Spyder

• Quarter Panels: The Coupe rear fenders (420.809.605/606) have a longer, continuous curve to meet the roofline. They are not interchangeable with Spyder fenders.

• Air Intakes (Sideblades): The Coupe features the iconic two-piece sideblades. In 2014, these were often Carbon Sigma or Oxygen Silver, but can be paint-matched to Sepang Blue.

• Mounting Points: The Coupe bumper uses a more rigid upper mounting rail since it doesn’t need to accommodate a folding roof mechanism.

Professional Alignment Checklist

1. Panel Gap (Sepang Blue): Because blue is a high-pigment metallic color, panel gaps must be perfect (approx. $3.5\text{ mm}$) to ensure the “pearl” flake reflects light consistently across the rear quarter and bumper.

2. Coding for Dynamic Turn Signals: If you are installing these 2014 lights onto an older R8 (2007–2012), they will not “scroll” automatically. You will need a specialized adapter harness and a BCM (Body Control Module) coding update.

3. Active Aero: Ensure the motor for the rear spoiler (420.959.831) is tested before the bumper is finalized, as the harness is difficult to access once the inner liners are in place.
