I remember reading that someone mentioned an OPC Manager saying not a problem but is anyone aware of which (if any) say its a no no? I am fed up with the leaves in the 981 radiator and also had to get new condensers on my previous 987 due to leaves and stones. I was advised by one of the service managers at OPC Silverstone last year that they would invalidate the warranty if for example something overheated (gearbox) and caused a problem, they may point to the Zunsports. This was a conversation in the car park. When it went for the two year service, they did not mention the grills at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelin Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 I quite like the emphasis paid to the corners via the eyes without the central grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike597 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Without the center looks better in my eyes. I fitted mesh to my 986 last year and made the same decision to not fit the central mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart21UK Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 I prefer to hide as much of the shyatety black plastic as possible...it looks a lot worse without the centre when the car is dirty...I don't remember feeling the same about the black plastic on the 987...

RBD914 v2 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Black definitely - but no reason to fit the centre one unless you have a GTS which has an additional central cooling radiator to protect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No centre one just looks incomplete or like one is missing. To me anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me anyways Yes, I can understand that, but I only fitted two to my 981 base model. and to be honest it took a keen eye to notice the lack of the centre one!

Price based on perceived ability to pay, rather than cost of manufacture plus profit margin, I would guess. What's another £250 to someone who has just shelled out £60k for the car? ? I made a similar comment about the cost if the grilles for my 981 vs the 987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All be it, is that just good business pricing to the demographic? Were there no discount codes applicable to the 718 bits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pjm Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I have the outer set fitted to my 987 Gen 2 but they go over the horizontal vanes and not behind them. Black on a black car so don't spoil it too much. I would have preferred to have them behind the vanes but that was not how they worked. I bought the centre but did not fit it.

MIkeyv60 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Just the one picture, the one from the front of the car you cant see the grilles. Does anyone want a wind deflector? Will fit a 981 has a small hole. Will post pic later. Free just pay for the postage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
