rs bonnet vs a6
Hi guys, and Bam,
Might anyone know if there are any difference between the rs bonnet and the regular A6? why i ask is the paint on mine is horrendous, it has been since i bought it and the simplest fix "cheap skate" to me seems to be a second hand new one off an A6.

It’s longer and made of alloy-and being a cheap skate and owning one of these doesn’t mix!!Billy_G wrote:Hi guys, and Bam,

Re: rs bonnet vs a6
thought that maybe the case, I new it was ally but didn't know if the A6's might have been also. That will teach me to even think there maybe cheap option!

Re: rs bonnet vs a6
Pretty sure the bonnet on my A6 is alloy The wings are also alloy on the v8 cars but I’m 99% certain that all c5’s got alloy bonnets.
Any V8 car SHOULD have the correct bonnet, quick look on the parts catalogue does say it’s RS specific but google says the bonnets are compatible when using the part number, you may have facelift and pre facelift differences but you’d have to check as I’m not sure if the V8’s had such a drastic change cosmetically.

Re: rs bonnet vs a6
seems like the later 03-05 models had a deeper grill like the rs and for sure the v8's and v6 models but as said they maybe longer for the extra gubbins up front, I'll do a bit more research

Re: rs bonnet vs a6
If any other bonnet will fit it’ll be a v8 bonnet, the v6 chassis is the same as the narrow body chassis, all v8’s where wide body and I think one of the only S cars that are a true wide body car like the RS version.
I know all the windscreen trim and headlights are v8 specific for instance.

Re: rs bonnet vs a6
Why not get a price off a decent paint man to prep and respray your existing bonnet ? could be the cheapest option anyway.

Re: rs bonnet vs a6
This is what i have been intending to do tbh, it could do with the whole front end blowing in to freshen it up. Swapping the bonnet was just my lazy option if it were one haha
