    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    how do you think guys ? i have planned to facelift my B6 (2003) to B7 S Line.i've already got the single frame grille , headlamp , and 4 pc tail lights.

    this is my b6 pic :


    im going to make it like B7 S Line Series.
    my question is :
    1.do you think the body is similar enough ? so it can be natural enough.
    2.good idea ? how do you think ?

    thanks guys!
    oh- im newbie here.nice to know you all :)

    This is the facelifted result:

    Do you have a better pic of the front? Is that a photoshop or do you have a b7 waterfall grill on it ?

    I agree another pic of the front....I absolutely love on the new audis how the grill extends all the way to the bottom
    Edit** I didnt refresh the page, lol

    I am not going to lie...that doesnt look half bad, actually pretty nice. I dont like the bumper though...any more pics?

    Re: How Do You Think : Facelift B6 to B7 ?

    Thats a lot of custom work to make the sline stuff work but apparently you dont have an issue with custom work. I thing to pull it off though youll need to get s4 door blades and a good aggresive rear. That and the bodies are pretty much the exact same except some minor changes which shouldnt effect the way the sline stuff blends.

    [O_O] It's exactly what you are doing no?

    You own a b6, so...you will be a wannabe if you want it to look like a b7.

    On the B7 the tail lights are part of the rear fenders and the trunk.. hence 4 pieces..

    If you are going to do all this custom work, why not take it in a different direction, and go widebody or something?

    Re: How Do You Think : Facelift B6 to B7 ?

    Looks intresting.

    Any one looking to convert to B7 should go with the lltek.com kit.
    http://www.lltek.com/a4_b6_8e_indx05.htm

    It comes with the hood extention, so it looks a whole lot more B7 then this kit.

    Its pricey but if you want to do it, its better to do it right rather then look imposed.

    Re: How Do You Think : Facelift B6 to B7 ?

    If you're gonna do it, we can't stop that. So, I suppose we might as well tell you how to do it the right way...

    However, doing the swap as complete as you're implying you want to is a HUGE waste of money when you consider that you could buy a B7 and swap over all/most of the mods you might have on your B6 at the moment (wheels, suspension, etc.).

    Doing the rear rear conversion is the most expensive and pointless part. since it requires a new rear bumper, tail lights trunk lid and then MAJOR metal work to make it all fit.

    The front can be done fairly easily without much body work besides paint.

    You'll need headlights, a hood, fenders, bumper (and grills and foglights) and the core support. Appearantly is all just bolts on. BUT, the B7's have a different shadow line along them than the B6's do, so you'll need to do work to the fenders to make them match.

    Long story short: it can be done, but you're wasting your time and money.

    Re: How Do You Think : Facelift B6 to B7 ?

    this is the biggest waste of money ever....

    First of all the body lines (shadow lines) are edged on the B7 and smooth on the B6, you might as well do the RS4 widebody in that case cuz you are going to need to change the same amount of parts....

    Second of all, with the cost involved to convert to B7, you could EASILY be sitting on a widebodied B6 or full ABT or Oettinger parts....

    Save your money and tune what you have, dont try to spend money just to pose....

    Re: How Do You Think : Facelift B6 to B7 ?

    i agree it would not be worth the money, to get the shadow line right it would be WAY easier just to replace the doors..

    but for the sake of argument... ...will the convertible front clip fit on a sedan??.. the body on convertible is basically a B6 convertible with a B7 front end.. notice the same smooth shadow lines as the B6..

    the HOFELE body kit looks a lot better than this! no offense, but the grills on ur car curve tooooo much, it looks like u got hit by a lifted truck! And i really think the B6 is a lot more beautiful in the rear than the new b7's they're too plain, but i like the front of the B7 because of the 1 piece grill, but besides for that B6 FTW!!

    this one isn't all that bad, but still there's too much going on with the lower! the center grill conversion alone would be much better!

    Its a unique idea, and maybe it wont turn out half bad when you're done, but its just something you'll get flamed for on AZ if you post about it. You'll understand after you're on here for a while. And hey, if it doesnt turn out well, you can always, A- Restore it, B- get a new audi to start fresh with.

    Fellow Indonesian... cool! B6 to B7 facelift... not cool! I don't like the look of the B7 precisely because it looks like a half-assed facelift effort to the obligatory large grill. And you're doing exactly that in the literal sense.

    But... selamat datang!

    i would save your money for aftermarket modifications rather than facelifting it. if you really like the B7, i would trade in the car and just go with a B7

    I say do it ..... be different than the mid 30's guys here. You need a few parts and to get the fedners worked a bit , not a big deal.

    I think it's important to have a differnt than stock look. I love OEM Plus and OEM Brand Plus .

    Pricing it at genuinevwaudiparts.com
    Fenders 155 ea
    end plates 47
    hood 297
    Bumper cover - W/rs4 - W/rs4 339
    Tow brkt cover 32
    Cap Right/left 24
    grill Bright - W/rs4 - W/rs4 211
    Clip 2
    Lower grille Right/left 65
    Composite headlamp, a4, right, w/xenon headlamps 349

    Radiator support - 2.0 liter 175
    Front bracket Right 12
    Front bracket Left 12

    total $2224 with out paint work. I'd think you'd be in $350 in body work on the fenders, paint would be another 1200 for 2 fenders , rad, and bumper.
    Personally adding your mods in your sig is just silly to me .

    why waste all that money? Sell your car and get a B7 if thats what you really want.
