he says its a face-lift but i thought the face lift has a vertical bracket next to the slanted bracket on the driver side and thats where the fog would mount? miuch like the one in this ebay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/96-97-98-00-01-1996-1997-1998-1999-AUDI-A4-FRONT-BUMPER-IMPACT-BAR-GENUINE-/160986055813?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item257b844485&vxp=mtr

That first bumper looks like the famous $80 "Euro" bumper that's so popular on Audi forums. It's just a prefacelift bumper with a Euro plate cutout, I forget if they come without headlight washer caps though.

your probably right. seems like finding a face lift bumper is a hard thing to find. I might as well mod the pre face lift that is on mine to take the headlights and get an s4 bumper with fogs down the road when i see one pop up for sale.

Yea if you have any s4's up there that would be great. I guess the richmond area isn't a super populated a4 area, at least ones that get scrapped.

You shouldn't need to mod anything for the headlights. I installed the fogs in my pre-face bumper simply by building the mounts. Piece of cake.
