C5 RS6 sideskirt installation

[Mr. Rictus]

I've googled and searched various sites but have not found a step-by-step for installing the RS6 sideskirts. I know the doorblade replacement procedure, that's easy.

The skirts have me puzzled. The set I picked up are in 4 pieces total, the outer skirt portion and a black plastic part that's the length of the skirt. I don't know how they attach to each other, and then attach to the car. Does anyone have any pics. for me? Thanks in advance.

Pics. of the car in question

I've seen that, and it kinda helped. I was hoping for a real life picture. Thanks for helping out.

A bit more that I found.

You can get a PDF of the installation process here:

I found this site that has various pieces of the RS6 manual online:

Awesome! Thanks.

A word of advice with Audi as you probably already know...
Usually there are anywhere from 2-10 items you have to move out of the way before you get to the part you need. I have found that some planning and lots of patience go a long way.
Good luck and have fun.

I was able to use the iPhone to get some quick photos.

Open front door wide open, and right on the corner it reveals the first item you have to unscrew (dead center of image dark screw):

Next is the rear door, open it wide and you can more easily see the item you have to unscrew.

There were no butter screws that seemed visible around the wheel sides. I would recommend removing the screens on the wheel liners (both front and rear), just the bottom ones, and see if you uncover additional screws that need to be removed.


I will be doing my license front plate transformation to use earth magnets tomorrow. It will be around 60 degrees and perfect mod weather.
Have fun with your mods.

[Mr. Rictus]

Now those are some helpful tips. Thanks a lot for them! Have fun with the the earth magnets, I was going to do the same but then decided to forgo a front plate. ;-)
