Default Changing the appearance of an 2002 A6 (C5) to a 2005 (C6)

Hi!

I'm new with all this forum stuff, but I had some questions that perhaps you can help me with:

I have a 2002 Audi A6 2.7 T quattro

is it possible to upgrade the grille and the bumper to make it look like the 2005 A6? is there any body kit for this? (either from audi or from any other mfg) or will i also need to change the hood/headlights/etc? perhaps it's not even possible to do?

I know the back side of the new A6 is also a little bit different, but first i want to know if the fron is possible, then i can ask about the back side

I'd appreciate any comments comments on the matter

Can't imagine doing it right would be worth the cost. You'd be better off shopping for a used C6. My $.02

Why on earth would you do this? The C5 is a fine looking car. Don't go the Frankenstein route. If you like the C6 so much, save up and get one.

Im with him. I love my C5. I think it looks better then the C6 IMO. But, if you want to do it that badly then you should...

+2. Styling is a personal thing, but I never understood trying to change the appearance of a car into looking like a more recent model. If that's what you want, then buy it. Otherwise it's like trying to "fool" others. Not too different than putting an S4/S6 badge on a non-S car.

While I agree that the C6 is a much better looking car than the C5, if you try change the look of the C5 to look like the C6 it will look like an abortion. You should just go out and by a C6. The 2009 is hitting our shores soon.

a c6 front end on c5 is ugly the only way it would look better is if the lights changed up too so the front really looks like c6
