Default 1997 or 1998 front bumper cover on a 1999.5?

I need your help once again. A fellow member has offered his '98 front bumper cover in primer black but I have no idea if this will fit my '99.5. Another member warned that on a '99.5 the bumper cover and bumper is one whole piece and that if I used a bumper cover, it wouldn't be a tight fit. Can someone please confirm?

The other option I have is a '97 whole front bumper assembly in Santorin Blue, the original color of my car, so I wouldn't need to paint it, but again, don't know how this will affect the "facelift" look of my car. Furthermore, will both the '97 and '98 bumpers feature mounts for the fogs or do fogs not mount to the bumper and some other bracket instead?

This question also applies to the radiator support. Will any B5 radiator support do? My car is a 2.8, I guess, as long as it's a B5 2.8 radiator support, it should fit, correct?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Prefacelift bumpers dont have brackets for fogs, also be careful about that blue bumper, it could very well be eurpoa blue mica which is close to santorin but not quite the same.
