No they already made that with the C6 style front end...this one is the C5.7

This just screams I'm not rich enough to afford a C7, so I just fake it with my C5. Sadly, there will be plenty of people on the street that will be clueless and actually think it is a C7.

I hope it's photoshop or someone just decreased the value and appeal of a nice C5

How the hell do you figure out what cross flag emblems to use?!?

Maybe just average it out and use C6 emblems?
