Removing the protective platstic slatted inserts ?

Hi all

I have a 996 TT & need to remove the above mentioned front bumper inserts to get out loads of debris that has collected behind them.....is it an easy pop out job ?

My OPC told me it's a nose bumper off job to remove them. Give an OPC a call to confirm, otherwise use a powerful jet washer - with care.

Get some long tongs/tweasers and remove manually

OPC use a vacuum cleaner with suitable attachment to remove the debris - they should do this at every service/annually. Otherwise you need to drop the front bumber , the removal of which is more awkward than difficult ..and easy to do if the car is on ramps giving easy access to the bolts that hold the bumper on from the underside/inside front wheel arch

Think I will try Toby Tuckers suggestion - if i try & remove the front bumper it will all end in tears !

Thanks all
