    ur s6 bonnet (1996)

    Picked up a second hand bonnet today to replace the bent one after my s6 rolled down a hill into a bike rack, the guy doing the work for me is convinced that the bonnet is supposed to be aluminium..
    Im sure that the a8 was the first aluminium audi, can anyone throw any light on this as i want to make sure the car is a1 when it is finished.

    I seriously doubt the bonnet would be aluminium. Audi started using the space frame technology in 1994 on the A8.

          I'm sure the later A6/S6 had aluminium bonnets - our 01 Allroad has - maybe thats an Allroad thang. Anyway your UrS6 precedes all of that. Twill be a steel bonnet.

              But if the magnet doesn't stick you still have the problem of whether it is Aluminium or space grade titanium alloy!
