Looks nice!
What did you do about the different body lines on the B6 vs B7? Did you use unmodified A4 B7 fenders and kept your old B6 doors? Someone here did the conversion with unmodified A4 B7 fenders against the B6 doors and that looks off since the bodylines are different and at different hights as well. What bumper is that? An A4 B7 bumper with RS4 look?

Get some more pics! :)

I want your front end.. lol
I have the B6 "rs4 look" frontbumper from Hofele but I'm not really happy with it, kind of regret that I went down that road and not the same as you. So your fenders are B7 only with modifications to the bodylines? Could you tell me more on how you made the bodylines on the fenders look so much like B6?
If I ever get hit in the front end I'm going with B7 hood and B7 "rs4 look" bumper like you.

Where are you from?
The only thing I would have changed on your car is your audi rings, the rings in the grill should be chrome to make some contrast to the black grill.

Here is a pic of my car in the build process, its currently at the bodyshop for a full repaint so I dont have any pics of the car with painted bumper.

Cool. Did you sell your black b6 with the hofele bumper? I'm from Norway so thats not that far away ;-) I'm actually thinking of doing a roadtrip in the summer either around in Sweden or all the way up north in Norway, either way some of the route is thru Sweden ;-)

oh ok yeah I understand what you mean. I've seen other guys buy B7 fenders and just cut off the front of it where you mount it to the bumper and then cut the B6 fender in the same place but keep the opposite piece and weld it together. The part with the bodyline is B6 fender and the area around the headlight is B7. That way you dont need to think about molding the bodylines but at the same time you need to not cut to much of either fender parts and hopfully not weld them together at wrong angles could be a little problem.

But didn't you need to replace a lot more parts than you mentioned in the first post to do this conversion? Like B7 rebar (aluminium crashbar under the bumper), radiator support, headlight brackets, B7 foglights, B7 hood lock & release? Are those headlights oem or aftermarket? It looks great.

hi, yes the black b6 I sold. I saw that some squared up the fenders which I think is more jobs, however. the rebar i had to modify a bit. new mounts to the headlight. new hood release. The Headlights are oem.

But you didn't buy an A4 B7 radiator support? The big black frame that covers the whole front of the car which the radiator and AC condenser is attached to among other things. I thought you had to get the B7 radiator support to be able to use the B7 hood release and to mount the new B7 headlights to.

Have you done anything modifications to the rear as well? You should do some high res pictures of your car ;-)
