There is a small chance that it would fit a 2002... someone should visit me to test fit the parts.

Default why...

I've got a 98 A6 Q, and would love to do this modification, why won't it work?

Default Look at the picture of the front of my car

I have a 4.2 which have the same front grill size and shape. Compare it to yours and you will see that they have different shape than the 4.2/S6. I heard that even the hood is longer or something like that so you can't even replace your 2.8/2.7T hood with a 4.2/S6 'cause they are different.
BTW I don't have that little dealer plate in the front bumper anymore.

Default The 4.2 and S6 have larger engine compartment, and "split grille." The 2002...

The 2002 3.0 and 2.7T have a split grille similar to the 4.2 and S6, but the engine compartnent is not enlarged. So, the grilles may or may not be the exact same size... This is why someone with a 2002 3.0 or 2.7T needs to visit me so we can test the parts for fit.

Before 2002, the 2.8 and 2.7T models had a single grille above the bumper... completely different design.

Your accident would have been a good occasion to make the switch but to bad, it does'nt fit.
