So I ve just got back from a car trip ruined by the fact my 911TS got a hole in the rear of the radiator and I got stuck in a place for 5 days waiting for it to be fixed (plus the costs). Having a hole appear due to stone strike in front I kind of understand but in the rear I never thought this happen. Clearly the limited protection in the wheel arch is not effect and you can see from this:

So I m thinking about installing some protection front and back (my countryside road to my house is covered is stones and my drive also).
However I know it will invalidate the warranty even though the GT cars have them, so I will have to remove each time the car goes totally the dealer if I go ahead.

Anyone done similar? Anyone where I could source this sort of thing?
Many thanks

Not sure what car you have, but I have fitted Zunsport grills on my Cayman and 991/992s and never had a problem with my warranty cover. There might be an issue if there problem was related to overheating, but that seems unlikely.
I never feel the need to remove the grills before servicing, but that is knowing my OPC (Tewkesbury) has never stated a concern.
You could alway ask them, but I would not bother.
