Default USA: Naive question and a replacement part!

Hello, I am driving a 2013 Audi which is only labeled as an "Allroad" on the back, no mention of A4. Am I correct in understanding that this is technically an A4 Allroad?

Secondly, I'm trying to find a replacement for the front right fog light grille. Is that part going to be the same for an A4 as for an A4 Allroad, or do I need a part specifically for the Allroad? The latter seems more scarce and more expensive!

Yes, that's a B8.5 A4 allroad. The allroad bumpers tend to be specific to the allroad and not compatible with sedan or avant parts.

Assuming there's no adaptive cruise control (ACC) radar there, the right fog grill is 8K0 807 682 H 01C. With the ACC, the right grill rev letter is J, not H. The 01C at the end is called a color code, for satin black in this case. It'll be easier probably to search without it, so just "8K0807682H".

https://www.ebay.com/itm/394090681001 I've heard mix bag about these Lithuania sourcers. I don't bother with them. But unless you can find a used one someone is unloading, or a used one at a yard, not sure you'll get a "new" one for cheaper.

Thanks for your response. I found
this item on Amazon this item on Amazon
which is a different style, but reports to fit the 2013 Allroad. Do you have any way of verifying that this grill fits? It may make sense to replace both sides at the same time, even with a different style, than have one new grill and the other a decade old.

I just realized the Amazon part lists three part numbers, one of which is the same number you gave me. I only saw the first when glancing at it before... So presumably it will fit as well.

681J is the left side for B8.5 allroad, 682H is the right side without ACC, 682J is the right side with ACC. So that 2-piece kit would be for a 681J + 682H vehicle, such as yours. It would be wrong for a 681J + 682J vehicle, as the right grill would block the ACC radar.
