I posted yesterday that I need to replace my bumper so I will be doing that shortly to fix a crack. No front plate is illegal here so I need to put the plate on grr. Got pulled over once and ticketed once for not having one on my 540. Other than that, what can be done with the grill or otherwise to spruce up the look from the front? Pics or links are appreciated.

Thanks,

 

sorry i couldn't resist....rs 6 grille maybe?

 

S6 grilles???

 

If you check out Audi A6 Grilles on ebay, you'll bring up innumerable entries for chrome additions to the slats and various other 'upgrades'. Not clear if this is where you want to go, but it would be a change.

 

S6 above (Upper & Lower S6 Grille with S6 Hood Latch: Aprox $350)

Or

RS 6 Front end conversion (See sig link "RS 6 Stuff") $$$!!!

Cheers.

did you finally sell your look-a-like rs6?

 

I sold my car last October.

 

Obviously I saw your car in your sig...how much did you get for it? Ya like the new TT??

 

It was a 2000. Got $20K with 80K miles. Looks like my preference in the RS 6 look paid off. The person who bought it, Im told, didnt even know what OEM means, whatever, as long as he had a check that cleared right?

I didnt even take the spare CD changer, or the A6 rubber matts out. Sold it as I built it, on consignment through a friends dealer.

At the time I had mixed feelings. It was a money pit as it was out of warranty, modded (to a degree that meant maintaining it), and (especially these days) had horrible gas milage, plus it was a ticket magnet due to the tint, no front plates and ability to sound like it was drag racing, even at 30 Mph.... making every cop, look twice, every time.

So, as my friends put it "It was time to sell her"...

Around that time my brother picked up a C6 A6 and had a new 07 TT as a loaner till the A6 was ready. He let me use it for the weekend and I was sold on the 1000 lbs lighetr, half the engine, newly styled TT. Plus all of the reviews were favorable....Hell, even the Off Topic forum approved!

Trucked it in a Toyota Tundra pick-up from Nov-April with the plan on getting an 08 TT in June (in time for a wedding) but between my impatience, the weather and getting tired of going on dates in a pick-up truck, and the fact a friend and Audi dealer had a rate that was agreeable, on April 1st I took delivery of a new 08 TT.

I'm still getting to know the vehicle, after only 2 months and 1500 miles on the ODO but I can tell you this. It is definitely a city car, where the 4.2 was ahighway monster.

All maintenence and cash aside though, I miss the 4.2 exhaust note (with a RS 6 exhaust that is), but I dont miss anything else. Dont need the space, its just me. Don't mind telling my boys "Sorry, passenger seat only fits a woman" and well, I'm enjoying everything from the looks I get, to the so much updated interior...

This is not a knock against my former car but having a newer Audi really made my old car look and feel dated.

I used to say it was timeless, but no longer get that same feeling when I see old A6's on the road.

But, there are certain times where I do miss the Uber Muscle Car I created, and realize this little car I'm in now will never have the soul of a 4.2.

Cheers.

 

WOW! Quite the blurb there! That's definitely a great price for the car, including the fact you had put so much money into it...they got a really good deal...so did you considering it had 80k on it and you got $20k out of it. Most consider that a waste, so I hope it went to a good home where they realize what they got...sounds like they don't, if they do not know what OEM means...sad story...

The 4.2 sound is very unique in many ways...but I like the new TT's alot! Love the headlights they look great!

I personally had my eye on the new S5's...most likely will consider one in a couple years...

I am shocked that you got OT approval on anything! lol! jk

I'm glad you are happy with your decision, great choice in my opinion.
