Zunsport side/intake grilles - worth it on a 981?
Discussion
I have the full set three front and 2 rear, although I haven't fitted the front centre grill yet as I don't have the third radiator.
Go to CaymanOC.com we're a friendly bunch, there's a discount code to get %5 or 10% off direct from zunsport.
I believe if you let them know your on the forum they will even fit them for you there and then if you go to there premises. I know djmc on CaymanOC was sure. Popped in and they offers to trial fit them (without securing screws) if you don't like them they just remove them almost like try before you buy. Apparently there a family run business dead friendly.

Cheers. I'm not so keen on the look of the side grilles personally, so I'd be interested to hear why they have no benefit other than looks...
The front grills hide the radiators for cooling and aircon. The side vents lead to the air filters that are not quite so sensitive to any small stones that may be sucked in. There is nothing delicate to get obliterated by stones in that path and it would be extremely unlikely for any stone of significant size to be sucked into the side vents.Off topic, but I'm still bemused as to why the GTS has a 3rd grille, for such tiny output increases over the S? Either it is massive overkill/cozracecarmarketingBS, or, the S cooling system is so much on the edge, most of them are on the verge of seizing up, whenever the temperature goes above 18 degC ambient?
As you were Gents.

my BGTS takes ages to warm up (compared to 981 2.7), so the extra cooling is really effectiveAs you were Gents.
I fitted the full set of Zunsport grilles this evening. middle one took 5 mins. side ones took longer, couldn't make them fit, but then when one side fitted, the other just flew in (knew the technique).
looks good but no pics currently
I had the fronts fitted after Zunsport lifted the front up and I could see the dozens of stone hits on my rads. Peter the MD said he'd just had an order from a customer who'd spent £1000 having a new rad fitted after being split by a stone.

As for the side ones... a week after I bought my 981 I had a loud annoying ticking from the r/h side intake. Took it to the OPC and the removed a leaf which was being hit by the fan. I bought a long claw thingy off Amazon after they told me that's what they use.
But as I was having front and rears fitted I though I'd see what the sides looked like... and liked them. So I had them...
