Bumpers
bumper supports
Hood
Headlights
fenders and quarter panels

**Vinchenzo51** · 10-21-2010 04:22 PM

wow, can't wait to see this all done!

good luck with the project

Just for grins, are there any dimensional differences between the RS6 and 2.7T hoods? It's rumored that V8 C5s could have a longer engine bay than V6 C5 models and I'm curious just how much longer.

2 inches

I'm not hating but it would have probably been easier/cheaper to buy an A6 4.2 and put a 2.7tt in it.

iteresting...

i wanna see the finish project...

**VJ's A6** · 10-21-2010 05:05 PM

Nice Steve.. Good Luck..

**MLFHNTR** · 10-21-2010 06:00 PM

I am curious to see the final product...

and on a side question wasn't there a drive train difference to the RS6 as well?

**btsline04** · 10-21-2010 06:02 PM

A-MAZING

fenders and all huh? mustve been a pretty penny so far! good luck with it and i cant wait to see it finished!

**8520** · 10-21-2010 06:04 PM

Wow. Crazy to see the difference in fender widths.

Good luck with the project, but I have to question why you don't just buy an rs6 for the price you'll spend with the conversion...

**2.7t steve** · 10-21-2010 06:14 PM

it would be more expensive and way slower, and i would spend allot on converting it to stick.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly...
But he already has the 2.7 so ya gotta go with what ya have...

**2.7t steve** · 10-21-2010 07:38 PM

i know that a6 4.2 is a bit cheap to convert to rs6, but to convert 4.2 to 2.7t 6speed is way more money!!! PLUS 4.2 costs more money than 2.7t thanks for your advice!!!

**Auda** · 10-21-2010 08:01 PM

2 inches? More like 6 inches longer.

RS6 fenders are the same as the A6 4.2 in fact all the panels are the same as the 4.2.

**green a6** · 10-22-2010 11:38 AM
