Default C6 Front Bumper for C4 ??

Just wondering if anyone makes this "upgrade" yet? Ive seen the c5 nose for c4 conversion, but no c6... yet.

C6 zr1 or z06 would look especially badass! I havent been able to find anything like it for the c4, but if there is some lowly-advertized custom shop making these, or similiar inspired ones, Im sure Id buy one

Of the aftermarket bumpers for the C4, as found by google, many are nice, but not so much that I get the I-cant-live-without-it feeling hahaha

If not c6 exactly perhaps some of you can steer me in the right direction?

I am at work now, but if someone hasnt done it by the time i get home 7-8ish then I will take a stab at it.


To the OP, I doubt they will ever make a c6 to c4 bumper conversion/kit, the C4 aftermarket is slim pickens and I highly doubt it will grow.

Great photoshop job. I wonder how one would lift the hood as there is no break between the bumper and the "clamshell". Perhaps the bumper also tilts forward.

I personally can't think of a modification that would be more time consuming and lead to less value for the owner when all is said and done. You might as well shovel your money into a dumpster.

Here we go again. These are the treads that inspire a member last year to commit suicide and Val Kilmer to gain weight.

Have to flip the whole thing like the Calloway LM



You guy’s have to lighten up a little, and have a laugh or two

Doubt anyone would attempt this for real

Well, that's the bestest C4 mod I've seen yet. But I do miss your 'other' car. I also miss my panties gettin all bunched up, but that's for another time.

The C4 look was cool, the C6 has that stance that looks bad-***, but I don't think this frankenvette is going to work well.
