This European design is specifically targeted for the Audi enthusiast's "pre-facelift" narrow body USA model A6 (years 1998-2001). The design will fit an A6 with either the 2.8 or 2.7T motor. To determine if your car is "pre-facelift" versus "facelift", look at the upper center grill. The facelift version has square lower corners - the pre-facelift model (example shown above)
has round lower corners. A version of the front bumper will be available for the facelift A6 (2002> 3.0 and 2.7T motors) and a 4.2 model version will also be made available through LLTEK shortly.

To install the front bumper it will be necessary to purchase a set of modified OEM European impact bar supports from LLTEK - the support bars will be used to replace the current set. The North American impact bar is subject to a small modification at each end. Installation is straightforward. The OEM foglights will not fit the R6 corner mounts and openings. LLTEK will offer 3 lighting upgrade options, one of which will be real HID Xenon utilizing Phillips D2 ballast systems. The
other options consist of a choice between 5th Generation light blue-tint glass fog or driving lights. When the bumper is ordered with LLTEK's MatchPaint option, LLTEK pre-installs the lights for free.
The R6 front bumper is included as part of LLTEK's optional MatchPaint program. When the MatchPaint option is taken, LLTEK will pre-install all 3 lower grills. Also, when the MatchPaint option is taken a second color (black) is provided for the accents that surround the fog and air intake cover.
At a later date, LLTEK expects to offer a set of side sills and a new R6 rear bumper design for the A6 car. LLTEK worked with the manufacturer very closely to develop a special fitting program for USA specification cars. The manufacturer makes several modifications in Germany for LLTEK plus LLTEK makes a final modification to the impact bar supports to complete the supplied changes. Without these changes the bumper cannot be installed. The profile of the front bumper is shortened by
about two inches.
LLTEK will also offer 2 additional options. For a small charge, LLTEK will delete the European license indentation. Also, a lower aero splitter is available. The R6 front bumper is oversized and ships by truck only in a special extra strong protective box. For more information contact LLTEK by phone Toll Free at 1 888 465 5835.
