Welcome to the C5 section, congratulations on the C5, and sorry for the loss of the C6.

What mods are you considering?

Sorry to hear about the C6 loss, but glad to hear of the C5 gain, sound like a great car. Post some pictures when you get a chance. I think you will like the C5 as I do.

Congrats on your C5. They are very good cars and still can perform with many of the cars on the road today. Best of luck with the car and hope you get many trouble free miles from it.
