  1. Chemsales said: I am going to order and intall these in the next couple of weeks. I'll be sure to get some before and after pics. http://www.automotio...or-porsche.html I say: I recently acquired a 996 mkII, once i discovered the pile of debris deep within the air ducts, clogging up the rads, i figured something had to be done, however i wasn't sure how to go about it...? I then discovered the same things that Chemsales mentioned, and they seem to be available for all 996 variants. After taking delivery of my 'specially made' grill, i was immediately overwhelmed with disgust! At a price of £150.00 im sure most people would expect: a) the edges to be finished/trimmed B) the grill would include a centre section - ONLY IF YOU'RE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE A GT3/2 ... P.s. I know C2 has plastic blanking plate anyway. c) There would be some guidlelines/instructions included. Turns out neither a) B) or c) were realistic expectations!! I was on the verge of sending them back (no refund on postage btw!), when i thought i'd see what sort of a job removing the front bumper was. I found the American guys (sorry i know no names!) video on youtube first, which like many others, inspired me with confidence!! If it wasn't for everyone here i wouldn't have just accomplished such a task! Regarding the job itself, the video and instructions FOUND HERE, gave me enough to know what had to be done, for which i am grateful. In my case there were 3 things that should be considered: 1) I found that the plungers of the rivets will slide right out, then the sleeve will come out with ease - and as many have said already, if its stiff/tight, USE LUBE! 2) The grills i inserted (although already shaped and cut) imposed on the inside of the bumper where the air ducts would slot in. I wouldnt say its a problem, but the grills and the air ducts together make an extremely tight fit. So much so that i found another person is required to push the bumper in that little bit more so that all the screws can be returned to their rightful places!! :) 3) If you have an air temp sensor (for A/C?) and are installing grills, be sure to either cut a big enough hole for the unit to go through, or completely disconnect it so all you need to do is feed the wire itself through a hole in the grill. Dependent on how much slack you have on the wire, you may benefit from tying a piece of string to the end of the wire/sensor so that it is easier to pull through! Although the biggest help is this site and everyone who has provided the infor, i only hope that something i've said helps someone at some point! :)
