Default Intercooler ducting

Just noticed that the factory fogs totally block the intercoolers. I recently upgraded to the IPP large ones (bigger than RS4 ones) and realized that the face doesn't see much direct air. Also noticed we don't really have ducting like the S4 guys do. Are there different grill inserts for the bumper I can get that eliminate the fogs for better flow? And is there supposed to be ducts that direct air at the intercooler? Gonna post a couple pics next of my blocked I/C's and the grill's..

Anyone ever looked into this??

Thx
