RS6+ fantasising on a Sunday night...

Post by MoRS6+ » Mon Mar 09, 2009 1:11 am

1) Get this new style front bumper kit done:

But possibly in the black optics version to match the rest of the black optics I already have:

2) Fit these LED rear lights (hope you don't mind me using this pic Pau1):

3) Fit this steering wheel:

4) Finally, get an ibis white wrap, yes you heard me right! I think that doing all these would look awesome, whadya think?

The steering wheel is lush but the Lltek bodykit looks silly from the side as it makes the nose too long (IMHO of course).

Saying that their new LED running lights may be a nice addition and a better option (i.e. smaller) than the S6 DRLs which are much bigger. You would need to adapt either the stock or sportec intact mesh...

noooooooooooooooo. . . .that bodykit is horrendous from the side profile. . . dont do it, the standard RS6 bodykit is amazing.

Do the ibis wrap and LED lights and its be amazing

I have seen a RS6 with that body kit fitted, and trust me it look horrendous at the front, sticks out a mile and just looks all wrong!

No probs using the picture matey. It is one of my favorite ones of the car now. I wouldn't get the Jimmy Hill front on your plus, it'd devalue it far too much, and it doesn't look too great. I would definetly go for an Ibis white wrap though as one of my pals up here had his B5 S4 done white and it looked great.

Some food for thought... Though, with black optics it'd look great.

With all due respect, I think you should leave your + as it is. Those mods do not complement your car

Hey Mo, where did you get this pic from? I'm thinking a piano black one might be nice :razz:

The bodykit is so iffy it looks like a poor photoshop experiment!

Not for me!

hehe, love some of the replies. Knew you'd all flip out about this and I especially like the Jimmy Hill chin part..

Cheers for posting the pic of the white '6 dude, it gives me my 'White RS6 fix' without having to do it! Google images just wasn't cutting it and kept giving me white C6's.

G, that pic was from a thread in the RS4 section:

Slightly different one here:
