The lower front for 20" is not available from anyone, however is dimensionally identical to the pre-facelift version. Unfortunately none of the parts catalogues seem to know this and all insist it doesn't exist (and that the PF one doesn't fit).
You can't buy these as a kit so you have to piece the set together from individual parts. I don'thave time to find part numbers right now, but I'm sure I've posted them before so hopefully some searching / google-fu will find it. Or have a look at the Meyle online catalogue, using a 1998 D2 to find the lower front, and 00> for everything else.
(yes I know FL was from 99, but the first 500 FLs had a weird suspension setup so 00> is foolproof)

I managed to sort the parts from Meyle. There seems to be some cheaper alternatives but decided to stick with this:
1 off MEYLE 116 050 8293/HD TRACK CONTROL ARM Front RH,Rear,Upper
1 off MEYLE 116 050 8292/HD TRACK CONTROL ARM Front LH,Rear,Upper
1 off MEYLE 116 050 0140/HD TRACK CONTROL ARM Front RH,Lower,Rear
1 off MEYLE 116 050 0139/HD TRACK CONTROL ARM Front LH,Lower,Rear
2 off MEYLE 116 050 8228/HD TRACK CONTROL ARM Front,Front LH,Front RH,Lower
2 off MEYLE 116 050 8239/HD TRACK CONTROL ARM Front,Front LH,Front RH,Upper
2 off MEYLE 116 060 0006 ROD/STRUT STABILISER FRONT LH,FRONT RH
All works spot on for 2002 Audi A8 Quattro Sport with Factory 20" Alloys.
Thanks all.
