Default Converting A6 to RS6 (opinions)

So..

I have a 2.0 TDI Audi A6 Sedan (saloon)
It's a non s-line and it looks kinda boring. Converting it to s-line will cost me probably similar amount to making an RS6 aftermarket convertion...

I'm just looking for opinions -> what do you guys think of the look RS6 vs ordinary A6 with s-line? Is the convertion "lame"? Or actually worth the money?

I'd buy front + diffuser that fits straight on without modifications. Costs about 1500€ and then a bit money for new paint.

If you weren't poor and could get an RS6 convertion for 1500€, would you spend the money? I personally think it's worth it. I just don't want "normal" / older people thinking it's stupid and looks worse than original version.

As long as you don't put RS6 badges all over it.
Also, are you just thinking the front bumper/grills? There are a lot more differences including side fenders, exhaust, spoilers, etc...

Add up the prices and look at pictures for both and then decide if it's worth it to you. If my A7 gets front end damage, I'm going to upgrade to the RS7 front end.

I debadged my A7 and put an S7 rear valance on it. Locals think it's an S7.

No RS6 badges would be used.
I'd buy an aftermarket that fits spot on without changing side fenders and such. Would cost me so much more money..

So all I'd change is:
Frontbumper+grill (RS6), diffuser (RS6), sideskirt (S-line).

Sure that would work at all? its a wider body all together... anyways, there are experts in here somewhere...

If you buy an aftermarket it fits without modification. If you buy real RS6, yes then you need fenders and more stuff since it's as you say - a wider body. (That would cost about 10 000€)

Me with aftermarket, no widerbody but only cost me 1700€ including work, paintjob and diffusor+front.
