Unhappy Lower right and left grill?????

I went to this parking lot and it had those bumps to make you stop , the damn bump was a bit high and when I backed out it damaged my bumper some, I checked and things seemed ok so I drove home, when I got home I had lost the Right (passenger side) lower grill that goes in the bumper, http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...T5WhsL_W_ZFTIA
It really annoys me since I have my B5 all neat and mint now it has that hole any suggestion guys on where to buy a replacement or maybe mod it somehow with a tuned part, I really just don't want the blank hole there it bothers me.
I have checked on ebay and they only have for a b6 not for a b5, my Audi is the A4 2001 B5.
Any help is appreciated, and thank you

For the right side lower grille insert you need a this.
Left side is this one.
If the lower valence (black plastic piece under the grilles you mentioned) is damaged, you can get a replacement here.

If you'd prefer to just scrap the whole OEM look and go a different direction, several guys on this forum (and I'm sure plenty others) have removed all the grilles and replaced them with RS4-style mesh. I bet if you searched around you could find some good pics

Thank you so much, this is what I needed , I noticed in that website they have the mesh thing too it comes in one piece apparently, for now I will keep the OEM look I bought a chrome kit for those grills too I want to see how it looks I am almost done with the upgrading thank you again!

no problem. FWIW, that mesh you saw isn't designed to fit anyplace in particular, its just a sheet that you would need to cut/bend/tweak to get it to fit in place of your grilles. I'll poke around this afternoon and see if i can find pics of what this would look like
