Oh forgot to mention that.

Fitted full S-line interior in last week aswel. Its all taken time an iv worked on a budget, most of the stuff sourced private sales or ebay!
 
RS6 wheels are truly the most suited for the 8P without a doubt, everytime I see them they never fail to please IMHO
 
Any chance of a rough breakdown on the cost and parts involved? Thank you :)

Looks brilliant by the way!

I've got a red split grille and it's starting to tempt me.
 
what tints are they?
Tints are either 30% or 35% all round.

They are BUT they got to go! I want something different

Well hard to say really my price could be different to what you could get them for.

Quick breakdown:
Bonnet from Audi £200
Front bumper from ebay £90
Grill £80
Skirts + brackets from Audi £320ish
Rear bumper from ebay £170
Spoiler from ebay £70
 
Thinking of getting all the grey bits on the bumpers and roof wrapped in carbon. If i did the mirrors aswel do you think it would be to much??
 
Conversion looking great mate. Would love to get round to doing mine but it always comes down to the money. As for the carbon wrap on the mirrors i think it might be a little to much, i'd look at getting the fogs before anything else. Great job.
 
I know the felling mate its taken me months to collect everything! The fogs are on a long list i need to do, im use to the car without them at the mo so they can wait. Wheels and carbon are on top!
 
Nice work - get some tips on those exhausts! Nice cheap mod and would look good!

Another on my list! Do you know if the Audi ones are worth buying? I was going to pay a visit to the local custom exhaust guy and get a qoute off him done properly then
 
Looks good mate, about time you got some photos up ha!
Good to see you got the foglights and exhaust on the list. Any more plans?
 
Wheels
Carbon wrap (As mentioned and maybe interior to)
Fogs + Lamin-x
Exhaust (New Audi tips or Custom SS)
Fit armrest
Fit S-line steering wheel (Might be for sale)
Alpine Type-R Sub

But when does it stop........
 
looking good mate, what springs have you got and what size are the rims?
 
where can i buy them from? what kind of price are they? are they genuine rs6s or reps?

Not to sure if my wheels are reps or not! Think they are, prices range have a look on ebay. Also the springs i got off ebay for around £120 but they go for about £150
 
nice conversion mate, looks spot on :)

after looking at ur parts list, didnt you need the front slam panel or was the bonnet the only thing you needed to change?
 
sweet looking motor matey cant wait to get mine done im going for the s-line front end conversion will look so much better , what wheels you going for i think some bbs rims would look spot on or are you going for S3 rims ?
 
It looks great!!! For me you missing only bixenon light and new tailight and then it will look incredibile :)

are the wheels the same as off an A3 s-line? Really like them!
 
So I am correct saying the rs6 on here are 8x18 ET42?

Car looks great Blueie, nice work :icon_thumright:
 
Strange your on 50mm Eibachs, I am too and mine sits a lot lower on the front that yours, about the same on the back

Your wheels are ****** up too mate, you have 3 replicas and 1 genuine. The genuine one is on the drivers side rear. I bet it looks weird from the back as the reps stick out 10mm more than the genuines!!

Ye you needed the bonnet plus from reading on here no need for the slam pannel, just cut 20mm by about 30cm off the bottom of each side and fit like a glove!

Seriouly dont know what to do about wheels! Dont think they will be BBS or S3's, want to be different.

Spoiler aint OEM i bought one off eBay and was supprised the fitting, shape and quality was very good!! Springs are eiback sportlines 50mm

Haha good spot!!! The wheels were like that when i bought them! (women driver) I HATE kerbed wheels!! And the reason for the genuine one is that girlfriend (now ex haha) hit a pot hole and damged one so lucky my mate had a spare, again KURBED but will do for now
 
fair enough mate you have plenty to chose from after all i still cant decide on what wheels im getting lol

To much to choose from which does my nut in!!:scared2:
Might just bite the bullet and go BBS or S3:blink:
 
im in the same situation mate dont worry i dont know what wheels to go for bbs reps of rs6 reps im on a buget so cant get real bbs rims unfortunatly but there we go cant have everything lol

Thanks!
