Well, then add shipping.  I can't remember exactly what it was, but the
bumper was just around there.  I think the whole deal, lights, bumper,
mounting, shipping, and everything, came to around $1200 - $1300.

Yea, it's an S2 bumper, with the squared off corners.  Incidentally, the
fogs and turns aren't a very good fit, despite the fact that they're all
the "Genuine Audi" parts, with Audi P/N's and everything.  
And I like the rounded corners better, I think.

I remember finding them, but in an odd spot.  Have you looked at the
electrical section?
