Nice all white C5 from Europe...

[FrankA6]

I came across this car about a year ago and then again the other night while looking for some stuff so I figured I would share it with you guys, not sure if it was posted before or not...but oh well

After seeing this car I really really really regret selling my Rial Daytona's I should have just held on to them and got wider lips, these 19x10's in the rear look great

Its a shame this car is only a 1.8T and the fronts aren't the same size as the rears, but either way it looks great!

[DownhillA4]

WOW! That car is gorgeous. Only negative comment about it is those rear taillights, yuck.

Yup, I hate most of all the staggered fitment. I wish I still had the Rials, although they did weigh 40lbs each without tires just for the 19x8.5's I had.

That car needs 19x10's in the front and OEM tails and headlights with RS6/S-line spoiler and it would be pretty close to being perfect.

Nice pictures, but I don't like the way that car looks at all, especially the fitment.

couldn't agree more with dre, not my coup of tea at all

10000% agree with this. I would love the spoiler added to this as well.

Now, is the Rial's weight sarcasm or they where literally that heavy? Is the hardware on them removable to allow for the gold hardware?

No, for real , my Rials with 235/35/19's on 19x8.5 were around 55lbs each , this is why I took them off after a week and sold them. And they are true 2 piece wheels, the lips removed from the face of the wheel VIA bolts, you could put your own tires on with that wheel. My plan was to get wider lips but $1000 for 4 lips on wheels that cost me $2700 already , no thanks , that + the weight is why I sold them.

And that car needs the same size up front and it would look 100x better and with that fitment it could stand to be lowered a bit more.

[Hambone101]

I must be alone in the fact that I love the staggered look.

Although the rear is poking a bit out too far for my liking. Besides the headlights and tail lights, I'm kinda diggin the car. eh, different tastes I guess

[LY7Y]

Man, I would love to have a white C5.



Have a great day

[deucescorner]

Meh

Too much poke. I prefer tuck these days.

Can anyone tell me what rear bumper that is? I've been debating about changing my rear bumper.

[8520]

Looks like an oem bumper with the lower section painted to me?

Its just OEM bumper from a older 1.8T or Diesel. No exhaust cutouts, pretty cheap on UK ebay.

And they are the shorter snub nose euro bumpers, which look the best.

Thanks Frank, I'm gonna try and find a set like that in Canada.

Mine has no cutouts either but the lower valance is flush. I much prefer it poking out like that.

[A6Avant]

Personaly I am not a fan of White wheels..... Pretty much ever. I dont know why they just do not do it for me at all...

The Headlights are.... bad.... However the tails are clean looking to me.... But maybe Im missing something??? Why do you guys not like the tails? They are crystal and sharp... Not an altezza look and they have no amber shite at all. A winning combination to me.

The fitment needs to change I completely agree that staggered should not be on that car. Also no offence intended frank but honestly I think those wheels are brutal over all... Not a good match for the C5 but thats again just my wheel taste...

I actually like the taillights but hate the fitment of the rear wheels and also dont like the black mirrors and door blades, paint that shit white!

Whoa whoa whoa... do you meant he front bumper? Like, shorter meaning it doesn't protrude out as far forward?

Do tell... do tell

Uhhhh yeah....... You didn't know this? I plan on someday doing this in the future since its so cheap to find used bumpers on Ebay.co.uk

the front and rear bumpers don't stick out as much, it looks much cleaner. The American cars look like dogshit compared to the Euro C5's

2004 Euro C5 TDI


2004 US A6 S-Line

[Vinchenzo51]

Im so pissed you showed me this... ugh. I thought I was finished with my exterior, god dammit

[FrankA6]

It really does make the car 10000x better looking, every time I see a Euro C5 it just makes me hate my fucking car because of those ugly US bumpers.................lol

I was going to have them changed to euro bumpers this month because my car got hit and it needs the front bumper painted and a new front fender and driving lights, but I need my car and I can't wait 3 week for bumpers from the UK.

I'll prolly get it done over next summer with Euro bumpers.

[Vinchenzo51]

Looks like some of the fronts don't have the useless headlight washers either

Yeah, you can get the older ones without the headlight washers, I think all you need is the bumper and bumper supports and your good to go.

The only bad part is that some of the UK ebay sales are "local pickup only" You have to msg them or find one willing to ship to the US.

[8520]

Sigh. I hate you frank.

[FrankA6]

Sigh. I hate you frank.

LOL , we had threads about this in the past, I don't think anyone likes the US bumpers.

Here's another view of the front.

Only thing is, is that the Euro bumpers come in 2 pieces, I would just smooth them out so it looks like one piece.

[A6Avant]

The 2 piece idea is great if there were other options such as a USP.... I always thought the C5 should have a USP version and Front bumper it would really set it apart.

[Vinchenzo51]

Don't mind the 2 piece thing... If I'm buying new bumpers, that will need to be painted anyway, whats the extra little cost to have them molded together before paint. Can't cost much for a little fiberglass and bondo.

I'll totally do this next year, I just need to find out what freight from the UK or Germany would be, that's going to be the expensive part of the whole thing.

[Vinchenzo51]

Lol, found a guy willing to sell front and rear bumpers for 50 euros... Im trying to talk him into getting a freight quote for me

(anyone who has dealt in overseas shipment of body panels, please shoot me some info)

[A6Avant]

Vince I have a buddy who owns a Land Rover shop in the UK who sends things over in a big crate every few months to YOUR part of the country.... If you would like I can gladly email him and see if he would be willing to toss in a set of bumpers for you....

Hmm, i'll definitely let you know when the time comes for this. I'll probably buy the bumpers over the winter sometime, so we'll get in contact with your buddy before I buy.

Yeah, now i'm trying to locate the differences in facelift and prefacelift euro bumpers for front and rear.

[khalimadeath]

Does this also apply to the Avant? When i get back in an Audi Its gonna be a C5 S6 Avant, Allroad, or B5 S4 Avant. If i get in another C5 im doin it right this time.

[G Men 08]

Im with Zach^^ WIll these fit the allroad?!

[khalimadeath]

Im with Zach^^ WIll these fit the allroad?!

you still rockin that c4 man? we need to get back in a C5 :/ im hoping January but realistically probably gonna be around tax time next year. Should be good. bought a house this year.

[Kievskiy]

yes, i actually was looking at the ebay.co.uk for bumpers lol and the white c5 imo looks good, not sure about black doorblades, mirrors and trunk insert, i would do it all white and clean, those tails are the best option for c5s out of any aftermarket tails. But man those euro bumpers. F@ck my paycheck im getting those for spring makeover lol

[G Men 08]

haha, you makeover that car once a year, Kiev.

[-C5-]

love the car, but a 1.8t??
thats not enough to push that huge car around!
i have a 2.8 and i wish i had a twin turbo or a v8!

[Kievskiy]

haha i like it too much to let it go but in need to change the looks once in a while, just took apart my last 18'' 3pc for some new lippage lol anf found the company who will ship bumpers from UK :)

haha, you makeover that car once a year, Kiev.
