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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So, currently got the front bumper off to sort a leaky headlight washer, and am thinking of fitting some mesh over the apertures. I like the look of the zunsport ones on the 996.2 where the lower one is one continuous piece, but as I have a 2000 C4 996.1 the ones for this model are separate pieces which, to me, don't look so good. Is there any practical reason why I can't completely remove the additional black plastic piece that is fixed to the back of bumper (and very faded), and then fix mesh directly to the back of the bumper? And does anyone know of a supplier that does black mesh that is long enough (approx 140cm long)- best I can find is 120cm.. Thanks in advance

POST 2Original post

Yeah, here: http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=94843 and the mesh: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Woven-Wi...2mm-Coarse-gauze-Stainless-Steel/261967305956

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Alex. Looks like you've left the black plastic piece in place. Can this be removed completely so that the mesh on the bottom aperture can go straight across with no adverse effects?

POST 4Original post

Which black bit do you mean - the duct or the trim clipped on the bumper? Thats one piece right across. Removing that will leave a big hole under your reg plate.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, the trim that is clipped to the back of the bumper. Then fit mesh to cover the the whole width of the bottom aperture. Would that not work?

POST 8Original post

Pretty sure that trim directs the air to where it's needed most.

POST 9Original post

Having replaced the front end of my 996 to a 997, I did have to sort out mesh protection. I did away with the black plastic bits on the inside of the bumper and added a piping to the vent holes then the mesh was bonded onto that. Ill try to upload a couple of pictures Alan

POST 10Original post

Hi, I would definitely go down the mesh route rather than Zunsport. Mesh gives an open look and not an aftermarket add on. It's cheaper so do also. There's no right or wrong though. Good luck
