Grilles for 996 C4S/Turbo

[Richard_Hamilton]

No real reason why you shouldn't post the prices, as you aren't selling them yourself. http://www.zunsport.co.uk/product.asp?id=203 Do they do black ones? The chrome ones on the site look a bit bling for my taste.

Hi All,

Further to a recent post that I read, Zunsport are on course to have grilles for the above cars online as from 28th June....

I have received an email with prices but do not want to copy it should I breach forum rules.
If anybody would like me to forward email, send me a PM or email.

However, excert from that email is:

Richard - Says on the site - "Price: £129.07 / £140.62 with a Black finish" for 996 Carrera so presume black also available for other models - POA. Dave Jones

Richard, would this amount of grill restricting the airflow not affect the cooling?

I'm sure it won't. A few of us have had mesh grilles fitted, and it hasn't made a scrap of difference to the running temperature.

Thanks Richard, that's reassuring.

Hi Richard, Yes, that's the offer I emailed to you earlier with additional Q&A's on the subject of fitting. I'm looking fwd to viewing them online next week & if they're anything like how the others look will be ordering a set. Paul

Richard there was a thread on pistonheads re this it surprised me to hear it does make some differance but as you say I dont think the differance is meaningful the other question I wanted to know is how these are fixed into the pu [link=http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=857439&hw=+%2Bporsche+%2Bgrills&nmt=996%20air%20intake%20grilles]http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=857439&hw=+%2Bporsche+%2Bgrills&nmt=996%20air%20intake%20grilles[/link] Neil Allan said: I did this to my turbo about 6 months ago and have noticed no change to running temps.

I spoke to a technical bod at porsche about the new grills on the gen 2 GT3 and they reckoned they reduced critical airflow by 20% but got around it by making other changes. Not sure if its something you'd notice in anything but extreme running conditions tho, but 20% does sound a lot ! quoted from Zero H on pistonheads

I fitted grilles to my Gen 2 and it has not made scrap of difference to the water temperature. I also considered Zunsport but didn't like the external fit. If you didn't see the fitted grilles on the 997 register thread, this is what they look like.........

 

[Richard_Hamilton]

I think the fact that we live in the UK, but they fit the same rads and cooling system on models supplied to Saudi Arabia, gives me enough confidence to say I think we are fine fitting grilles..... As it seems to be "show me yours and I'll show you mine" time, here's what mine look like:

 

[nogsk]

I had a full set fitted by a specialist in Swanley. The grilles and fitting came to a very reasonable £188 for my 996C2 The best part is that they are set back slightly, and in Black you'd have to look twice to notice them. Since fitting a few weeks ago no discernible difference in running temperatures. PM me if you want details/pics.

I have a silver C4S and am looking at the Zun Sport grills. Has anyone here fitted them? I am assuming that the polished/silver ones would be a bit more subtle on my car, has anyone with a silver car fitted either type?

Hi All

I have ordered the Zun Sport in Sliver/ Original - hopefully they will go well with my Artic car. Thanks to Jeff above for the 20% discount code - it does work. I will post some pics once I have fitted them.
