go to http://www.audioc.force9.co.uk/
this is the audi owners club uk website.
hit the link to photos from the top link bar and then select bernard
albert's 200 turbo from the upper right corner.
you will go to a frame with a dozen thumbnails that will give you a good
look at the bumper/lights.
i have never seen or heard of another set of 200t euro bumpers in the us
besides mine.
(i am only aware of one other grey market audi on this list, and it's an urq.)
as far as i know there are no north american sources for these parts.
when i had to replace a fog and a turn signal on my grey market 86 tqw, i
had to rely on one of our euro-based listers to procure and ship them.
(thanks again aleks...)
also beware that the bumper changed on the euro type 44 starting with the
flared-fendered body style (90 euro, 91 us)
i'm not 100% sure, but this may be related to changes in intercooler
plumbing for the 20v single pass ic.
in other words, the bumper you see on the earlier type 44s may not have
room for the turbo-to-ic-inlet cross pipe on your 91 20v.
