Audi A7 vinyl wrap with RS7 body kit conversion. High-gloss Tinybot Blue wrap transforms this 2016 A7 50TDI into a sporty, custom vehicle.
Audi A7 RS7 Body Kit Conversion & Custom Vinyl Wrap
This project showcases a stunning transformation of a 2016 Audi A7 50TDI, breathing new life into its already elegant design with a sporty RS7-style body kit conversion and a vibrant high-gloss Tinybot Blue vinyl wrap. The owner, based in Cheonan, South Korea, desired a personalized aesthetic that moved beyond the stock appearance, and this comprehensive upgrade delivers exactly that. The RS7-style front bumper, with its aggressive air ducts, integrates seamlessly, giving the A7 a much more dynamic and performance-oriented front fascia. Complementing the front are RS7-style side skirts, which add width and a lower stance to the vehicle's profile, enhancing its sporty silhouette. The rear of the car receives an S7-style diffuser paired with Akrapovič-style dual exhaust tips, further amplifying the performance look. To complete the aggressive aesthetic, the side mirrors and spoiler were finished in gloss black, creating a cohesive 'Black Edition' theme.
Tinybot Blue Vinyl Wrap & Finishing Touches
The highlight of this Audi A7's exterior overhaul is the application of a high-gloss Tinybot Blue vinyl wrap. This striking color, chosen over an initial plan for yellow, provides a deep, lustrous finish that rivals a professional paint job, making the car truly stand out. The wrap's smooth surface and intense shine accentuate the A7's sculpted lines. Adding another layer of sporty detail, an ABT carbon fiber front lip, specifically designed for the RS7 bumper, was installed. This genuine carbon fiber piece enhances the front-end aggression and adds a premium touch. Further customization includes gloss black accents on the door handles and spoiler, reinforcing the car's sophisticated yet sporty character. The final touches involved refurbishing the wheels with a gloss black finish and painting the brake calipers a vibrant blue, perfectly complementing the new wrap and completing the vehicle's bespoke transformation.
Installation Process:
- Thorough cleaning and surface preparation of the Audi A7's body panels.

- Installation of the RS7-style body kit components, including the front bumper, side skirts, and rear diffuser.
- Application of gloss black vinyl or paint to accents like side mirrors and spoiler.
- Painting of the brake calipers and refurbishment of the wheels.
