I've only just purchased my 996T and the leaves are already building up around the radiators. I'm going to remove the front bumper this week, as described in the '996 Technical Articles' page , but want to buy some trim clips (part no. 999.507.497.40) before I start. I've searched online and can't find anywhere that sells them. Do I have to go to an OPC to get them or am I just rubbish at finding them on the interweb?! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

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.

Easy answer is yes to ordering from OPC, 26p each and most good dealers will post them too you if its a long drive.
I would think these items are available ex stcok from your local Porsche Centre - dont forget to tell them you a PCGB member and get a discount[ ]
When you get in there dont be surprised to find about half a bucket full, right back behind the radiator. Whilst your in their, lots of people buying mesh panels from Halfords, cutting to size and clipping them in to protect radiators and /AC
