If you think that's bad, try taking off the bumper and seeing how much debris is jammed between the condenser and the radiator. A whole lot more in mulch form slowly rotting away your rads I'll wager.
 
Cleaned mine out every year with stick and hoover, amazing how much you pick up when following lorries down country lanes in autumn, front ducts act like a hoover. Eventually put in grills, problem solved. 981 has wider fins and I can pull out debris easily. However, neighbours 986 without grills had stone write off radiator and expensive fix. Might be worth seeing if grills can easily be fitted to 981. I used Zunsport before, and easy to fit but a tip when fitting, must put tape on bodywork to avoid scratches when pushing into place.
