The RS7 front will not fit onto a B6 easily. The bonnets between a b6 and b7 as well as the headlights are completely different. It can be done but a lot of modification is required.

Best bet is this http://www.lltek.com/hfltek_a4_8e_rs4look_b7.htm
Total conversion kit including bonnet etc.

thing is, surely you would need to do the rear aswel . . .to do the front you would need to wings, with the flared arches. . . then if you didnt do the rear your car would have front flared arches and rear standard arches which would look silly

so to do the rear also, your looking at new rear doors, side skirts, rear bumper and boot lid, then you'd need the rear lights aswell

So you'd be looking an an entire body conversion

SO - I think you'd be better off going for the LLTEK conversion rather OEM
