I agree, the RS6 is the perfect example of how to do the C5 properly, this just isn't!!!

Actually - that's a great build… I like a lot about it.

I also hate the bonnet vents and the weird rocket launcher things!

It's like the makings of the "Nuvolari" concept car. With a breaker quality RS6 C5 as a donor car that could be a really interesting project!

Well down the images but yes.

At least they saw something resembling sense and put the rims back inside the arches, just.

I think we're all still pretty puzzled about it. Is he/she a member? It'd be polite to let them join our thread so as to answer some of our abuse queries.
