    If you want to do that, you also need headlights for sure, 2 front fenders, hood etc.

    Then, the lines on the doors won't flow with the front

    I would say no :) or more like... NO

    What year and trim package do you have? Depending on that, there are some changes you can do to give it an updated look.

    BINGO! That is exactly what I'm looking for..

    I am a total noob, no point trying to cover up the fact that I'm not. Is this an aftermarket bumper? Or...?

    I knew that...just trying to figure out if he had a pre-facelift or non-S-line. If that was the case, he would have options (i.e. going to a face lift or S-line or S6 bumper) that would be much simpler than going from a C6 to a C7 front end.

    It can be done... Just make sure to pick up front and rear door panels, front fenders, hood, trunk lid, bumpers, fender liners, rear lamps, etc etc ..
    It shouldn't cost you too much more than trading in for a C7. :)

    The answer to his question is still a no, no matter what model he have :)

    Okay - so is it possible to go from a C6 Pre facelift, to a C6 Facelift?

    You need to choose between S-Line or standard.

    Then, you need the bumper, the lip (on the s-line), the fogs, the fog grilles, the front grill (if you want the full updated look, but you can keep your old one), the headlights (needs to be modified).

    I did it on my 2006

    If you choose s-line, i have 2 fog grilles here, brand new :) I choosed the black optics version for all my new stuff.

    Thanks

    Ahhh :) You sir, are a legend. Thank you for that info.

    Was planning on updating my grill to the US spec one (as you can remove the licence plate holder) anyway.
