Rennline Radiator Grilles

[JAW911]

Oh not much then! Is that the issue with the heater affecting the brake pedal bush? Not had it (yet) myself but seems to be quite a common issue. Just giving mine the full detail, washed yesterday, clayed today. Just awaiting my new Scangrip Matchpen light to check the paint condition before I set to with the polisher, etc. Then Swissvax Zuffenhausen wax ready for the road. I will order the grills this week.

Yeah. It's not affecting directly, but I can "feel" that the brake pedal isn't returning to it's stop fully sometimes (I can hook my foot under it and it moves a couple of mm) after some spirited driving.

Grills just ordered from Zunsport. I went just for the outer grills in black (my car is Agate). Discount code still works - PT022016 gives you 20% and delivery is included. I will take photos of installation etc.

 

[ScaredJimmy]

Cool. Lot's of pics would be great.

BTW, have you tried the new AutoGlym Magma Fallout remover? Blummin excellent. I've always used Bilt Hamber's Korrosol till now, but this stuff is better and cheaper. Clay was virtually spotless after treatment with that and AG's trusty tar remover.

Not to mention the ability to pop to Halfrauds and buy some. Bought the new foam and Ultra HD wax too, will report back on that soonest.

I went for Rennline as Zunnsport didn't seem to have grilles to fit a SportDesign front spoiler. Very happy with them and doing what they were intended for so far!

My car has very few swirls etc and the claying left a perfectly clean and smooth finish (the difference when you run your finger over the paint before and after always amazes me. Before claying you can hear how dirty the paint is - afterwards just silence!). On my other cars I have always used Meguiars Ultimate Compound (where necesssary), Ult polish and Ult Wax with a DA polisher but I received the Swissvax Zuffenhausen Discovery Kit for Christmas for the 911. So after claying yesterday I treated the car with Swissvax Regular Cleaner Fluid. So easy to apply - just gently massage it into the paintwork in straight lines and remove with a MF cloth before it dries and it produces a fantastic shine. For any stubborn marks/light scratches the kit also came with Medium Fluid which you just rub harder. Waxing today with Zuffenhausen Wax (40% Carnauba) which will be fun. Sorry that went on a bit and should have been in the detailing part of the forum! HAH! GRILLS JUST ARRIVED IN THE POST! Now that is fast service!

Sorry but I have only got as far as breaking out the box from Zunsport. First impressions are that they are very well made / good quality. Here is what you get.......

I purchased the outer set only as the centre section under the number plate has no opening.The instructions seem straightforward but there is also a YouTube video available on their website specific to each model and version.

I have the full reversing sensor set so make sure you order the correct set to get the grills with the cut-out.

Close up showing the clips that hold the grills in place. Hopefully they are as easy to remove as they said as I need to do so for any OPC warranty work of course! There are no screws required with the outer set . You do have to screw self-tappers if you get the centre grill as well.

Excellent! Looking forward to your before and after pics! []

Just finished fitting the grills. The eagle eyed will see the damage to the radiator - I cleared out by hand all teh rubbish that had accumulated in the last fortnight.

The instructions say you should apply masking tape to avoid damaging the surrounding paintwork.

At least I know the grills are easy to remove now.....I fitted the first one which took about 5 minutes of pushing and forcing until I worked out that it is actually straightforward. Unfortunately it trapped the tape so I had to remove it again!
Here you can see the bottom and middle grills fitted......it is important to install them in that order.

Fitting the final grill is a little more tricky as you cannot get your hand in to assist. One clip fits onto the back end of the reversing sensor (I suggest bending the clip back slightly so it is easier to hook on) then you just press the other end into place until it clicks. The first set, allowing for never having fitted them before, took around ten minutes to install with all the fiddling about. The second set of grills took around 2 minutes to fit! As I said earlier they are easy to remove which is necessary for warranty work of course!

Very pleased with the finished look. Here are a couple of shots of the front of the car so you can see the full effect. Definitely worth the price. See earlier posts for teh discount code which gives you 20% off. Delivery takes two days. Brilliant!

They do look good, John. Nice job!

A possible 'to do' job on my list is to see if they do them for a 991.2 Carrera T...

 

[JAW911]

If they don't carry your version they can use your car as a template for which they will pay you and they will give you a set FOC apparently. Worth asking them althoug I think your car is the same at the front end as a 991.2 S?

 

[Simon991]

Thanks, John. I'll drop them a line.

 

[ScaredJimmy]

They look great John. So easy to fit! I was expecting to have to take the bumper off (not that hard a job) but that's excellent. Ordering me thinks!
Cheers, Jim

They do look really good. Just in case you need a reminder of the 20% discount code

Sorry, no pics, but I just fitted the grills to my Cayman GTS and really recommend them. Ordered with the discount code late evening and received and fitted within 24 hours. Very pleased with the results.
