Default Good News / Bad News

Sorry for the delay, but it has been a hectic several weeks between work and having had to get ready for Waterfest 19 last weekend.

Good News
My German contact informed me that we can get the complete RS6 bumper with fender conversion kit. The bumper arrives primed and ready to be painted.


Bad News
Cost

Complete RS6 Front with alu matte spoiler and inserts 8399USD
Complete RS6 Front with carbon spoiler and inserts 14350USD

Additional are black LED headlights from the RS6 available.
Set 6590USD


Attached diagram shows the pieces of the RS6 bumper. You can order it with or without ACC depending on what your S6 is optioned with. I am looking into just doing the front grille and side inserts as circled in the diagram, but leaving the OEM S6 bumper on. This will still give me the unique aggressive look I want without dealing with painting a bumper, fender conversion, and removing a perfectly new OEM S6 bumper.

Will continue to keep everyone posted as I move forward.




Hope this helps...cheers

Thanks for the update, and bloody hell that expensive..
I might go for the grille only, but you mentioned installing the side vents too, I don't think they'll fit cause the rs6 vents are larger than the regular A6/S6 vents. I might be wrong

The opening is the same, it just looks chopped up on our S6 insert since you have a silver line dividing the space. If you blow up both inserts, the backing has the same shape,

I hope you're right, but they look a bit different to me. Also, I'm assuming the front bumper skin (S6) has indentations where the silver bar extends into the middle (near the grille). Are you going to fill that in if the side pieces fit?

There are instances where it "looks" like it should work, but it doesn't. i.e. The B8.5 RS5 grille fits the B8.5 S5, but the B8.5 RS4 grille doesn't fit the B8.5 S4. It's difficult to tell by looking at a diagram alone, but that's why we have people like you to try it!

After looking at the inserts carefully, I have to agree with you guys. I guess I will look at just sourcing the RS6 grille for now.

Default Research Completed

I have indeed verified with my source in Germany that the lower inserts will not work with the OEM S6 bumper. The only part from the RS6 bumper that fits the OEM S6 bumper is the center grille.

I ordered the center matte alu center grille since it matched the rest of my OEM front and side mirrors. It should arrive in a few weeks and I will post pics.

So in conclusion, yes we can source the complete OEM RS6 bumper in either matte alu or carbon fiber for a hefty price. At this price you still need to get it painted since it arrives just primed.

I opted for keeping my S6 bumper and replacing the center grille from the RS6. This still gives me a much more aggressive front end at a fraction of the cost.

Cheers

btw - the grille will look like this without the euro plate.

I'll definitely be interested in seeing how this works out, as I'd rather have obtain this grille over the S6 black optic.

Is the "quattro" insignia in the lower grille optional?

Its the OEM RS6 grille, so the quatrro is part of it.
