Zunsport side/intake grilles - worth it on a 981?

[Twinfan]

I'm looking to get Zunsport grilles for my CGTS and will definitely be getting the front bumper set. Has anyone gone for the side/intake grilles too? Or have you not bothered?

I'd appreciate any advice, cheers!

[Twinfan]

Cheers tyrrell. Fronts are a definite, just considering whether to do the sides or not...

[Twinfan]

Thanks Budwesier - why don't they do anything? Is there no real chance of anything getting in the intakes and damaging something?

[Twinfan]

Thanks Mark, I'm looking at calling in to have them fitted. It's just the decision on the intakes I need to make!

[Twinfan]

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...

[Twinfan]

Cheers guys - fronts only it'll be then!

[Twinfan]

There are no spaces in the rear diffuser for grilles on the GTS, so the only options are front bumper and side intakes...

[Twinfan]

Good to know, thanks Neil. I've got a full set of fronts coming...

I'm not sure I'd want to be removing the grilles once fitted. The clips have teeth and really grip into the plastic trim, so removing them would be an issue - even more so if you wanted to re-fit the grilles again.

I'm curious as to how mine would affect the possibility of warranty extension, but to be honest I think driving around without them is such a risk to the radiators/condensers on a GTS I'd rather forfeit the warranty. I think it's more likely I'll have to pay out for rad damage than it is claim on the extended warranty on a 981.

[Twinfan]

Yes.

[Twinfan]

Good to hear the factory warranty is OK with them fitted - was that the OPC's opinion or did they check with Porsche UK?

I'm curious as to the position re. extended warranty from years 4 onwards...

[Twinfan]

Yep, I thought that may be the case.

I'll worry about it in 2.5 years time when the warranty is up for extension. I'd like to think Porsche will be OK with them but who knows???!!!
