How to remove centre grill.
Guys im curious, is it possible to remove the front grills from the bumper of the 996 turbo? Mainly so i can get in there and clean the rubbish that gets caught up. Moreso in the centre grill.

cheers

Jme

You have to pull the front bumper cover.

I think the only way to really clean it out is to remove the front bumper and radiators. Maybe once a year.

Tom...are you running stock or GT2 intercoolers? I don't track my cab so I can't really answer, sorry. I know that when I picked the mesh out, I picked the stuff with the highest air flow rating.

Ok, i deal in various metals and mesh etc, i have the ideal mesh to put in place without inhibiting airflow. With that in mind, what is the process required to remove the front bumper?
