Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented air vent grille panel is intended for installation in the front part of the cabin, on the right side, in the Audi S3 8Y generation model. Its placement in the dashboard area means the component is responsible for:

The original origin from the Audi brand translates into compatibility with factory mounts and the maintenance of the proper rigidity of the entire dashboard module.

Condition of the item and benefits of using a used part

• the original panel has cracked or suffered mechanical damage,
• the air vent mounts have worn out or deformed,
• it is necessary to restore the factory look of the interior after a collision or bodywork repairs.

Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry and mounts, the panel allows for quick installation and restoration of full air vent functionality on the right side of the dashboard.

Compatibility and part identification

The element belongs to the Dashboards group and is intended for the Audi S3 8Y. Identification is facilitated by the SKU marking and the assigned OEM part number, as well as available interchangeable numbers, which allow for verifying compatibility with a specific vehicle configuration. Before purchasing, it is worth comparing the shape of the panel and the layout of the mounts with the element currently installed in the car.
