My A6 is in the body shop having the entire right side resprayed after someone sideswiped the car and left it in a parking lot. Bumpers are both getting resprayed as well.

I need advice as to which bumper to fit my car with, theres the 2009 front bumper/grille, S6 front bumper which im starting to dislike more and more, and the standard 2007 S-Line front. My car is now fitted with a non S-Line 2005 front bumper which isnt in the greatest shape.

Suggestions are appreciated..

i personally like the look of hte 2009. But I have a feeling it wouldn't look right without the LED headlights and the chrome trim at the bottom of the doors which makes the whole exercise a bit more expensive.

I personally like the 2010 SLine bumper followed by the S6 bumper. Switching out the bumper may require a new bumper grille, fog lights, side marker lights, S6 LEDs etc.

I took your advice and went with the 2011 S-Line front bumper. Looks great, and yes all new items on the front bumper are needed for a swap otherwise easy swap to do

Let's go guys..group buy on the rear! Waiting to get rear-ended first is not the best option!

A group buy on the rear would include new tails, bumper cover, valence, and trunk. Would the light module need to be swapped out as well? This would be one hell of an expensive mod, but its been done before.

Im excited to see what the car is going to come out like. This is what the car looked like before i dropped it off and the parts I ordered.I also dropped off porsche 997 exhaust tips and an S6 rear bumper valence. To match up the gloss black new audi corporate front grille that i ordered for the conversion I asked the body shop to paint the valence gloss black along with that fake looking brushed trim that goes across the trunk as it looked like sh*t (stained) over the years. Only thing i am concerned about now is the exhaust tips. Im thinking if they were painted gloss black they would look a lot better with the rear im going for. Any suggestions?
