I think they look great in purple. I nearly ordered a new Velvet Purple C6 after seeing the below, then whilst playing with the options list missed the last order date back in 2010, and ended up with my Black Avant Plus...

I do miss my C6......

Wow! That is stunning!

It's amazing how just lowering it makes the arches look so much bigger. Ive seen a few of these in the fleshand have been very underwhelmed as they almost look like a tdi, but this stands out and shouts 'I'm an RS bitch!'

If only they made a saloon version! From the front / front side it looks so good but then you see the arse and its like WTF! That boot is terrible and completely spoils the view from the rear.

I don't think it's the boot that's the issue, if the rear bumper was about 3 inches shorter at the bottom it would be a lot better.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

For me it's the whole back end that's the issue. The slope of the back screen into the slope of the tailgate all looks wrong. Looks like they were trying to make the boot a certain size to maybe make it comaprable to other cars and didn't care what it would look like. It's a shame as the rest of the car is so nice.

Black optics and dark wheels makes it a Halfords special apparently... or so somebody said on here the other day anyway.

Golfather,

How low is your RS6? Have you ever measured it?
