Do you guys with a March build know your commission number, which should be G03.... and is on the top of your contract. I found out today 03 means March and am wondering if the rest of the numbers are order numbers. Mine is 098 and I am curious what number you've got and when they locked.

I have been meaning to email them but Ive not had time yet, do they do the kit but for cars with the ACC option?
EDIT: Just emailed them to ask.
I bought these for a Cayman S PDK with parking sensors and eventually binned them.EDIT: Just emailed them to ask.

Crap still gets through and collects at the bottom of the radiators. They need to be removed occasionally to clear out the rubbish to stop it rotting the rads and the fitment on an S is a bit flaky, I wasn't happy taking them on and off all the time. I wasn't confident they were secured well enough so I shored up the spring clips with some black cable ties. It was too much of palaver so they ended up in the skip.

I am going to try and retrofit GT4 mesh.
Would that be possible without completely reworking them? The fronts look pretty dissimilar. Any thread with the Zunsports seems to generate a very diverse set of opinions on how good or bad they are!
As for fitting I'll give it a go over the weekend maybe, depending on how cold it remains.
Fitted these to mine as the rads take a beating and in only 900 miles of road use only mine looked more like they had done a rally stage
Can be tricky to fit and you need to be carefull if you have the black plastic painted like mine was, but take your time and they do fit very well and look great.
I had to twist the larger side ones to get them in and look right as they sit at an angle and these are the ones you will find the hardest to fit, but take your time and tape the areas up well and you should be fine.
Having fitted them to mine I would now find it much easier to do them again but must say the first time I tried I almost gave up

I have looked at photos of the bumpers removed from both the GT4 and the GTS and think it can be done. The mesh will sandwich in between the painted bar and the black frame that clips on to the back of the painted bar. I am thinking that I will most likely need to trim the cut outs in the mesh for the tabs on the back of the painted bar as they appear to be in a different position on the two models, but the radiator holes appear to be the same size.Any thread with the Zunsports seems to generate a very diverse set of opinions on how good or bad they are!
The only thing is the GT4 has two vertical supports in behind the mesh in front of the centre radiator, so I will buy one of these to see if I need to fit it or if it will be tight enough without it.
Here is the back of a GTS bar:

Here is the GTS frame that I am thinking would need changing for the GT4 type with the two extra vertical supports:

That looks like it could work, and I think the result will be worth the extra work. Not sure for myself I'd be confident with the disassembly required to do it though.
Can't help thinking Porsche have got both the look and the protection just right on the GT4 but our GTS's have the radiators too exposed from both points of view.

Managed to fit the Zunsport mesh to the fronts of my GTS today, and the lower outer one certainly is fairly tricky to locate. I think the instruction to fit the outer end first is wrong though. I tried that for 20 minutes without success then tweaked the hook on the inner end, hooked that in place and then by slightly squeezing the grill into place agains the clip fitted first (acts as a stop) it was fairly simple to position the outer lower tab in place and push the second clip over it.
The upper outer and central grill are fairly easy, apart from the hook end of the inner grill is tricky to make sure it is fully engaged on the trim as it's a tight fit.
The nature of the flexible plastic aperture against a fixed wire framed grill means it is never going to look completely snug, but credit to Zunsport I think they've done a great job, it must have taken a lot of trial and error.
Am I happy with them? Not really, a neighbour with a 981 Boxster popped over and he thought they looked perfect. It's when you've fitted them and know the detail intimately that you can't help but see the flaws. I suppose I will be happy if they stay in place when I'm scaring myself at Spa in April and I don't get a punctured rad.
My experience of removing factory bumpers is that they very rarely go back exactly as factory fitted, so this will have to do until my GT4 order comes in. (Yeah, right).
