Front grills to protect radiators for 997 turbo.
 
I spoke with Zunsport a few weeks ago and Pete the director kindly sent me a set in black to test out. :D

I decided to fit them as I have replaced the centre rad 3 times in 5 years :rolleyes: and thought I am not going to do this again for quite some time I hope lol so this time I fitted some protection.

All I can say is they look very well made and come well packaged.
Fitment didn't take too long either and majority of people could fit the grills if I can. hilarious

Here's some pics.

Before.

Interesting its first exterior solution I've seen. How does it fix to the grills?

They have brackets that hook round and clamp onto the black plastic inside the vents.

Pretty simple but clever and once you get them in place you bend them down with a flathead screwdriver.

I dont know if I like them covering the slats. Maybe behind them.

I don't think this will work if you have laser jammers

I did something similar but went with the Rennline front bumper mesh grill kit (in black). It fits behind the front bumper slats and is a less obvious solution which works perfectly to keep debris out.

i have these grills too, enhances the front end and comes with the protection! good stuff :)

I also have these grills in stainless. They are available on ebay, but you can order directly from Zunsport in England. I mentioned 6speedonline, and they gave me a discount, also free shipping. I received them from England 3 days after ordering. They are more expensive than the rennline, but you don't have to take the front end apart to install.

When I spoke to the Zunsport I asked about a group deal and he told me its not a problem..

I spoke to Zunsport yesterday and they told me they could make the centre grills with a slight cut out for the Jammers and have done a few already.
