Wahahaha NO! It's basically a wrap that joins the bottom grill and top grill to make it look like the newer models :-o

 

[DieselJake]

Pics?

I'm trying to get some. The guy that does the wrapping up here is on holiday thats why I was asking if anybody else had seen it or knew where to get it!

 

[S10 AUD]

My bad it's not a wrap it's an actual mod.

That's a fiberglass Hofele bumper, looks ok in pictures but the nose sticks out a fair bit over the lights in side profile. Just convert the front to an actual B7 RS4 if you want to go through the trouble as either way it'll be an expensive not so simple cutting job.

I have seen people use plastidip or paint to paint the bumper black between the upper and lower grill to give the impression of having the big grill but it just looks wrong but not as wrong as that ridiculous Hofele kit.

As mentioned........do a proper B7 conversion (bonnet, bumper, headlights and chopped wings) or is will look awful.

you can buy a B7 cheaper than you can a B6 so why would anyone bother trying to make a B6 look like a B7 ?

 

[S10 AUD]

You sure about that?

I looked at 4 B7 A4 tdi's before I bought my B6

you can pick up 2.0 tdi Se on 05 plates for under 4 grand as I looked at 4 of them.
2 of them in dealers.

I didn't want a 2.0 though as they all seem to die of oil pump failure
saw 2 1.9 Se models and nearly bought one of them.

 

[S10 AUD]

And you get b6s for over 4 grand :-s

 

[Cobra88]

just looked on Autotrader

there are 9 B7's between 3900 & 4000 and 7 B6's at same price.

No idea why but deffo cheaper to sell your B6 and buy a B7 instead of converting the front.
That's my opinion anyway

 

[S10 AUD]

Depends on the mileage on your b6 lol I'm currently at 209,570 with not a problem

got Skoda Octavia Tdi 130 taxi mate who has 430k on his so plenty left yet

 

[DieselJake]

you can buy a B7 cheaper than you can a B6 so why would anyone bother trying to make a B6 look like a B7 ?

Because my car already has lots of money invested in it and parts I can't be bothered to refit to another car
