Facelift Pics

[whitter45]

Dropped my car off this morning to investigate DAB and FM loss with heated rear screen and they had a new A6

Small differences I suppose but overall does not take anything away from the pre facelift model

Poor pics - sorry

Also really don't like the merc style exhaust trim or chrome bar across the boot

[chiefbadger]

I think the front works much better than the back, but it wouldn't be enough to put me off one when it comes to upgrade time.

it looked like an sline spec but had half leather, but colour DIS so assume it had the technology pack

Also seemed to be on 19's

Also like the brushed trim on the console rather than the black inlays of the BE

[johnsimcox]

The chrome bar on the boot may not appeal to everyone but I miss it on my C7 having had it on the C6. It serves a practical purpose of protecting the top of the bumper from getting scratched when putting things (especially if they are heavy) in and out of the boot.

I meant on the outisde of the boot ie under the number plate

Obviously need to get my eyes tested! Thought it was on the top of the bumper but looking again realise it isn't, just some cosmetic trim. Presume on the BE it will be deleted as it will look very odd having a black piece of trim there. Still wish they would put some sort of protection on the top of the bumper on the Avant to make it less prone to being scratched.

[Westyfield2]

Hmm. I'm not sure about it. The front has too much chrome, and I don't like the exhausts. The new lights look cool though.

[berlintaxi]

Gotta be honest and say I think I prefer it before the facelift.

Agree about the chrome - this one looks like it has a cattle grid stuck to its nose.

Cheapens it, makes it look like a vectra. What were they thinking?

With you on that..... A backwards step into the stick on shiny plastic Halfords look.

Just needs these wheel arch additions to complete the look.... http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/04/29f29268166ef00abb6e7caa99333e46.jpg

It looks pretty smart...any idea on what colour that is?

[spitty]

I think it was Karat beige, but it did look stunning. I was trying not to pay too much attention as I really don't want to change my order again!!

[B6Andy101]

No chrome on my Black Edition (front grille or tailgate). Agree with the comments disliking the exhaust tips. When you stand behind the car you can look down the pipe and see fresh air through to the rear arch.

[HSingh]

Haha....well I'm seriously considering upgrading my current C7 and I think you have just gone and bought a new colour choice to the table. :s I was thinking ibis white or Dakota grey but now well...this carat beige colour makes the car look very good indeed!l I think it gives the car that elegant look...

[spitty]

Looks like the Karat Beige is on the german site not the UK!! the UK site has Diamond Beige, but they look similar.

[Nemo78]

Interesting that they didn't change the exhaust tips on the allroad FL in the pic above

Karat = Carat = unit of mass often used when measuring a Diamond.

Clever Germans ;)

[johnsimcox]

Agree it does look a nice colour, just don't think I could bring myself to buy a "beige" car

[Rower1978]

Anyone got any pics of a Facelift Black edition yet??? Cheers.

[M1tchy]

Same as above but no chrome?

What a pointless post, thanks for that. I have still not seen a picture of a black edition facelift anywhere on the net, only the graphic on the configurator. What I'm really looking for is a pic with the rs6 style twin spoke alloys that can be chosen in place of the almost ubiquitous rotor design.

[L3nnox]

I assume you mean these wheels with this type of dechroming... Both pics of RS6s but it's all I could fine.... Does look sweet and I personally prefer these wheels. The std BE wheels are far too common now.

Yes that's the one (shown on the White rs6), but would like to see these on a UK facelifted A6 black edition. My local dealer has the FL, but not in BE trim. Anyone seen a BE FL in the showroom yet? Not that I've got long to wait, my order arrives mid Jan.

[A6S]

Just thought i would add a few pics people might be interested in from my facelift.

Indeed it does look nice... if that colour had been available as one of the metallics I might well have chosen it instead of Glacier white when I ordered my allroad.

So... apart from the wheels (which I think were available as an option) the allroad FL is unchanged.... front grill looks the same as mine, exhausts look the same...
Also looks like german spec does not get adaptive Xenons 'cos it still has front fog lights.

I like your rims a lot A6S. Sporty but at the same elegant which is more befitting of a large, prestige exec saloon. The car looks fantastic.

It was a launch car for the dealer so it had to look good. You can't spec that exact car from Audi ;)

[Westyfield2]

I was at the dealers today. They had a facelift car in the showroom earlier apparently, but it's been sold and gone already. The salesmen are all driving A6's though, and some have the facelift.


Have to say though, the new TT looks good and I love the fully digital dashboard of Audi Virtual Cockpit.

[Rower1978]

Still no black edition facelift pics out there?!!

[Daniel44]

Anybody tell me what the daytime running lights look like on the new SE? Are they the same as on the old Sline? Also the rear LED's on the SE, similar to the old Sline?

Thanks

Yes another forum member had shown me these. What I really want to see is the new FL Avant BE with the awesome 5 spoke twin titanium alloys. Not long to wait though, I had build week 51 also and took a call from my dealer today saying mine is ready to collect this Friday (9th Jan). Cannot wait.

Lucky you. What dealer? Mine was still in Emden last week and dealer in Glasgow estimates middle to end of January. Hope he's wrong and it will be much sooner!

Hope you'll be posting pics on Friday!

Audi Milton Keynes. It is here much sooner than I had expected. My original estimated delivery was 22 Jan, so you may be in luck yet!

[GEEnviro]

same here mate, still not sure what to expect with the tornado grey though. Had the twin spokes, tech pack and alcantara (as well as a few other bits). What made you choose tornado when the obvious choice was/is black/white/daytona??

To be honest, it probably wouldn't have been my first choice but I could get it quick as it was already scheduled to be built with the spec I wanted (Tech pack, heated seats and folding mirrors). I also got quite a good deal (I think!)

I've got a space grey 5 series just now so the Tornado grey will be a change as it is a bit lighter. It wasn't ideal that I couldn't see one in the colour though.

Last night I eventually found a couple of pics in the correct colour, just not the exact car. Just think of these 2 combined!

Good find! I reckon it's a decent colour choice, maybe not as blingy as the white or black, but should suit my 'understated' persona, and certainly a change from the daytona

I really like that colour

also nL the centre console buttons appear silver around the MMI centre knob

I think the rear suits some colours and not others with exhaust being integrated to the bumper - still think Rota's fit the A6 better than the newer style due to the bold lines

[Rower1978]

Picking up my new FL Avant BE tomorrow. Will take a load of pics to post but was just wondering if someone could explain how to post pics on this site?! Cheers.

Collected my new car on Friday. First impressions :

S-tronic v. multitronic is like chalk and cheese.
The LED headlights are really good - the difference is like when I changed from normal headlights to bi-xenon
The cornering lights are now LED rather than tungsten in the pre-facelift C7
Front indicators are now LED strips
The progressive rear indicators are really cool
The new instrument cluster full colour map display is really good
My previous car didn't have the Tech Pack Advanced, so I don't know if this is only on the FL, but the way it reads out texts, emails, Twitter etc. is good
I can connect my phone to the AMI without any special cables other than the normal phone USB leads
4-zone climate control now standard

And of course, most importantly - aluminium inserts in the pedals ;)

I've attached a few pics.

[Whippy53]

Looking nice! Still, I have to say, I still don't like that strip across the boot.

I think it gives a 'cleaner' look.

I didn't debadge the wife's car to be honest, then again it's not going to fool anyone into thinking it's something it's not, this one might and for me that the fun in it. I did end up debadging my 535d but that was to stop idiots trying to race me.

In 90% of cases I know it's the owners of the smaller engines that don't have them fitted, so whenever I see a car without badges I assume it's the runt of the litter..in the case of A6 the 2.0....even though there's no engine size designation. Does size REALLY matter?? Lol

So it was with surprise when I bought my C6 that the original owner didn't have the badges fitted, but had a boot spoiler added? However with that and my added quad pipes I do get Beemer drivers trying to race me thinking it's an R or RS...just let them go on their merry way :D

PS: Debadging indicates they were fitted and then removed.

That said I read a while ago that debadging in Germany was popular amongst executives as they did not want to make it obvious to the workforce that they drove more powerful (and expensive) versions of the cars they drove
