if you do make sure they don't impede airflow

Zunsport are the biggest supplier of them. You could make your own from mesh avialable from halfords, or for a quarter of the price via ebay. [link=http://www.zunsport.co.uk/product.asp?id=120]http://www.zunsport.co.uk/product.asp?id=120[/link] There are a few threads on the Boxster forum about them, you may have to scroll back a month or two. Whilst the Zunsport grilles will keep the bulk of debris out, they won't stop small dried leaf fragments getting into the condensor area. I personally don't think its particularly arduous to hoover out the area every few months.

I have fitted Zunsport grilles in black on my black "S" and they look great. Two days after fitting my neighbour who also has an "S" came over to say that a stone had hit his radiator which had to be replaced at considerable cost. The majority of leaves and debris I have hoovered out over the last 10 years are of a size that would not get through the grilles. Mine were purchased I think from "the style group" about £135 for set of three and were easy to fit but remember to tape the paintwork.

hi have you got any pics

 

[gouldian]

Yes - Tried to send pictures but cannot get it to work. If you give me your email address it should be relatively straightforward.

try looking on www.boxa.net or e bay under zunsport for pictures. I made up my own inlet grilles from mesh from halfords. Unlike the zunsport items mine sit behind the original inlet slats so are more subtle.
