The Lost Brother Project.... Opinions wanted..

Hi all !

Well, I´m thinking about making the Lost Brother Project (you´ll understand the name in a sec..), which consists, in creating the B6 RS4, the RS4 that never existed.. to make this, I will get a B6 S4 saloon, widebody it, make custom side vents on the widebody S4 front bumper, put the new RS4´s wheels and probably mirrors, install a Milltek exhaust system with 4" tips, create led tail lights, equal to the B6 DTM ones. That is the outside... engine wise, the car would have the stage 3 AMD, to give her some proud 400hp. Also, Porsche brakes, painted black and with RS decals.
In the interior, I want to install the new RS4´s start button, instrument cluster, steering wheel, and putting inserts in the Recaro seats saying "RS4"... When all of this was done, I would finally put the RS4 badging..
This should be about it.. what do you guys think ? worthy ?
Also, how much should I expect to pay for the widebody work ?

Thank you all !

Don't want to pour cold water on your idea, but for what it would cost I don't think it would be worth it, yes AMD stage3 to get the performance, but I feel the rest would be too expensive. You'd spend 50K to end up with a car worth 25K. Still I suppose people do that all the time.

Best of luck too your wallet if you do. John
