Milo Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I was driving behind a B6 today and wondered if my car looked as bland as the one I was following. When I got home today I checked and it did. For first time I thought, "Eek - it's boring!" I have since had a look at the pictures of the B7 rear end (thanks to RJGreen for the pic pinched from his gallery) and I have to say it is much, much nicer. OK I haven't got twin exhausts but even still, there is no comparison IMO. What do you reckon? OR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 B6 for me please, even more so on the Avant. Like the cleaner, plainer prefacelift look Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chav Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I much prefer the rear lights on the cab to the saloon though. The white bit of the cluster is smaller (or looks it maybe?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chav Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I quite like the B7 rear-lights. Less white bits and nothing to hate about them really. Not keen on the cheap plastic rear-valance on the B7 though. Its body coloured at least, but still looks cheap, just like the one on the B6 cab does. The rear valance of the B6 s-line and B6 with OEM sport-kit look much better I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 How about a B6 s-line rear red-light mod! Looks better all in red maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akira Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I'm really undecided on this, on the avant the B6 is the one for me, but the saloon i think the B7 has the edge, something always niggled me with the B6 saloon rear end. Even if my little one hadn't influenced my decision for an Avant i would've got one anyway, or maybe decided on the cab, for me its the best looking Cabriolet on the road. I still cant make my mind up on the B7 at all, that front grill is taking its time to grow on me. Still...at least the design isn't as radical as the whole BMW range (radical=omfg what did they do to the 5 series!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 [ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] I'd still go for the B7. I think it's the lights - the big white lens just looks in comparison. The photochop Chav did turning the B6 lights red looks better but still not good enough for me. The rear valance on the B7 is better IMO and if only they would put a proper boot spoiler on like the B6......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 The B6 looks fat and flat - the B7 looks square (in shape). Also, remember the B7 looks best in black... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBM Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Reminds me - there was a new style A6 in front of me today - horrible sky blue colour but the lights were just like cab rears not like the Japanese A4 lights.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I followed a debadged new-shape black A8 along M60 today. It looked fantastic from the rear.... what a sexy ass!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I've got the GmbH kit on mine, so with the extra valance and the bootlip spoiler, I think my B6 is still nicer, but I have to admit I'm warming quickly to the cleaner lines of the B7. I like how the lights look perfectly flat and part of the rear boot - if you know what I mean. I hate to say it, but B6's without the spoiler are looking a little dated compared to the B7.

Phantom Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Completely agree Chav, I have always thought that the A8 has the best a*se in the Audi range, lets hope they don't spoil it by transplanting a B7 style a*se on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
