c6 to a c7 rear facelift

[X-540i$A6]

Hello world I've been trying to find a way to get a rear face lift. I have a 07' 4.2' Looking to change the rearend to look like the 09' - 11' has anyone done it or can it be done thanks guys!!!!

Like most other car stuff, throw enough money at it, and it can be done. Not worth it IMO though.

Well there's a totaled out 2010 at the salvage yard near my house the front is total but the rest of the car is straight.I can get a good deal on the trunk lid the lights and the bumper I was wondering could I put them on. It seems like a working theory but I'm trying to figure out how to get the lights working on the trunk lid.

So if you are looking to face lift the rear of the your car to match that of the 09-11 MY, you are not talking about the C7; C7 is 2012 to current. It is still the C6 body (we call it C6.5). It can be done; you would need to replace the rear bumper, the tailights and the trunk lid. There is a forum member here that did it on an S6 I believe. It is pretty much a straight swap and some coding to get the tail lights working.

Thanks for the information Sin City its a c6.5 got it. I've been checking out the fourm for quiet while you are very informative glad your on here. Now if somebody can help me find this fellow fourn gower I'll be good to go. when I had a BMW 540i it was a chick named Bluebee she was the BMW queen. And now that I have A6 you're the king.
THANKS FOR YOUR INFO.

You would need the modules as well for the brake lights I think. Or the proper electronics knowledge to trick the computer to read the values from the newer lights and make it think they are the older style lights. Otherwise you'll get a lamp failure warning light.

yes it can be done!

which junk yard has a C6?

At the very least you'll need rear bumper, trunk, and tail lights. And possibly some electronics, hopefully the rear fenders don't need a swap. You're better off just buying a c6.5, on the plus side the 3.0t is lighter and faster than the 4.2.

Does the Audi a6 with the 3.0T Have the same mean sound as the Audi 4.2 engine. With the rear muffler delete and magnaflow exhaust tips.

No

You won't ever get the deep grumble of the 4.2, but you can get a nice clean "exotic" sounding exhaust note with some modifications. I would start with removing the center resonators and adding an "X" pipe. See how that sounds to you. If you want more, then delete the mufflers and add resonated tips.
