2008 s6 up-badging?

Hello, I’ve always loved the v10 s6 but I can’t get over how it looks ( just my personal preference ). Has anyone done a front end swap with maybe a newer s6 front end or something? Thanks!

Don't they have wide wheel arches and so on?
well, it is not exactly "rebadging", but in the hidden menu (aka "system menu") you can find submenu "HU TESTING". In this submenu you can find an item what to show on the bootup MMI screen.
The values for this item are:
0 - nothing
1 - A6
2- S6
3 - RS6
4 - S4

so you can get yourself a nice 100% authentic RS6 screen with some bits tinkering.
the menu is in German. If you spreche nicht die zunge, try to use google translate on your phone. You can open it in "video" mode and point at the menu. What you will see in google translate is fairly amazing. you will see the same screen but in English.
