    S5 cluster bezel b8 vs b8.5 differences?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Please help guys........seeking knowledge about the S5 gauge clusters and more specifically the silver bezel trim around it from the drivers side HVAC vent to the MMI display.

    I know both cars (b8 s5 and b8.5s5 ) that bezel is 2 pieces, but besides that, does anyone know if there are any more cosmetic or fitment differences between the B8 and the facelift?

    Thanks in advance

    The seem to be identical. The instrument cluster carrier, the frame everything snaps into, is the same for B8.0 and B8.5 A5/S5. The part revisions used for the right side panel (with the FID, front information display, screen hole) are the same for B8.0 and B8.5, though B8.5 over time updates to some later revisions (new color options beyond the flex metallic). The left side vent is different revisions, but they look identical. B8.0 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/264443565267 B8.5 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/14-Audi-A5-...-/164877457104

    As for the various revisions for the B8.5, seems to be different coloring schemes. Taking the vent side trim piece:

    8T1 820 901 C XUN -> B8.0 flex metallic
    8T1 820 901 H GIF -> B8.5 steel grey / black
    8T1 820 901 H GIG -> B8.5 moor brown / black
    8T1 820 901 H NTR -> B8.5 silver flex metallic / black
    8T1 820 901 L SZD -> B8.5 gloss black/alu

    Thank you kindly.

    The different part numbers are what was making me wonder if the bezel was specific to the cluster.

    Cheers man. I really appreciate it.
