R8 V10 Exterior Carbon Blade Replacement help!!

[ardy6931]

Hey Guys, i need answers fast, i found another v10 r8 at sticker price, only problem is that it has the exterior colored carbon blade, I MUST have the carbon side blade on a white car. The part in the audio option list is 2500, i saw it on maccarbon for 7500 or something crazy.

Can I order the oem part and is it possible to have it installed on the r8 through audi or third party? I am ready to pull the trigger on this one as I am going to be paying 20k on top of sticker with my previous order that I can cancel

Long story short, can i order and install the carbon sigma blade to replace the exterior color blade?

Best price I have seen on the CF blades for the V10 is like $6600, I think a couple of the part suppliers here can help you on that. Getting any of the Options from audi on your car is much cheaper then ordering the parts and adding them after you get the car. This goes for pretty much any car parts and any manufacturer.

thanks for the reply, is it a difficult modification to get installed?

When I replaced the silver blades on my V8 I purchased OEM blades through my dealer and the dealer installed the free of charge.

dealer costs about 250--300 bucks total. (1.5 to 2.5 hrs of work)

any non factory installed blades will cost at least twice as much as factory installed ones. ask me how i know.....

gotta pay to play baby.

You could wrap the existing blades in a Carbon wrap, bet that would cost a fraction of the price and can be taken off by future owner if required, you could then keep an eye out for used carbon blades on this site, just a thought...

We sell the OEM carbon blades for 6250 shipped. Installation should take no more than the 2.5-3.5 hours and takes us about 2 hours to do here.

I've recently heard more than a few folks who have purchased them from their local dealership or the selling dealership for quite nice pricing as well as having labor free of charge or installed in 2-3 hours. I'd love to sell you some of course, but I'd go ask your dealership first and see what they can do for you, if not come on back and Rich and I can duke it out to sell you sideblades
