Every work day I walk by a large parking lot and have noticed that all the Audis have a pair of plastic plugs in their front bumper covers. Most, but not all, of the other makes do not have these. What are they for? ---

They cover the tow hook installation point(s). Under the cover is a threaded hole into which a tow hook can be installed. ---

Some Porsches, Acuras, and other makes have similar openings in their bumper covers. ---
