Installation was easy with the bumper off. Decided to go down this route when I shone a torch into the cr4p collection point at the rads. _________________ 997.1 Turbo Coupe, manual, black/black. 29k miles under its belt.

Do you have any wider shots of the whole front end?
It’s difficult to see how they look on the car with close ups.

I didn't take any but you wouldn't see them from a distance as they are black on a black car with black holes behind. I think they are subtle enough on a black car but maybe lighter coloured cars may not be so unobtrusive? _________________ 997.1 Turbo Coupe, manual, black/black. 29k miles under its belt.

Yes, very pleased with the quality and fit. Not sure if it would have been so easy to get a good fit with the PU on the car?
There was maybe a crisp bag worth of leaves on the near side and half that on the offside. _________________ 997.1 Turbo Coupe, manual, black/black. 29k miles under its belt.

PT022016 is the code to use for 20% discount when ordered direct from Zunsport. They are great quality and arrive within a day or two. Pretty sure they do them for 996 so fill your boots  _________________ 997.1 Turbo Coupe, manual, black/black. 29k miles under its belt.

Cool. They certainly look good close up.

Shame they don't do a version where they sit behind the original slats.
Looks like I'll be doing some DIY ones. _________________ 2010 Basalt Black 997 Carrera S - '????'

This is a pic of them on my Arctic Silver car, switched them onto the Gen 2 when I bought it. They certainly keep the leaves out of the side ducts and the chippings hitting your centre rad. _________________ 997 Turbo Gen 2

I did think this prior to fitting but I am very happy with the fit and the fact that they are coated stainless steel was a big plus. They are very good quality and I would not hesitate to fit them again in the future. _________________ 997.1 Turbo Coupe, manual, black/black. 29k miles under its belt.

I found the Zunsport grilles needed a fair bit of fettling to get them right on my Cayman. Sold them in the end and went for something else.
No brainer in my mind to protect the cards/cons.

Cheers!
Mine fitted without any fetling whatsoever but it may have helped that the PU was off the car so I could work from both sides. You get to see what the clips are trying to achieve from inside the PU which helps with locating them. _________________ 997.1 Turbo Coupe, manual, black/black. 29k miles under its belt.

I printed off a guide from the 'net last year - may have even been this forum. I will see if I can locate it once more and will post a link. It's like anything of this ilk....takes an age the first time you do it but once you know what you are looking for then I am sure it will be a doddle second time round.
After successfully tackling the exhaust and replacing plugs & coil packs not so long ago, the front end was none too tricky. _________________ 997.1 Turbo Coupe, manual, black/black. 29k miles under its belt.
