Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My friend has a 2002 911 Targa. There are 2 grilles, one either side of the number plate that are a kind of rounded off square shape. He has ordered replacement mesh grilles from TechArt and he would like to try and fit them himself. Now would this require the removal of the front bumper or can the current plastic grilles be unclipped/unscrewed? If the bumper needs to be removed how is this done?

POST 2Original post

the bumper should come off easily and its worth cleaning the radiators at the same time. They will be very dirty and obstructed. I posted a link previously to a good picture guide to doing the job and Ill look for it now. Andrew
