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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

I've installed my third radiator and I've been letting the car sit in the garage while I try to figure out how to protect the front a little better. I've considered the DIY Mesh method of course and that seems to be the way I'm going to go. I do have a question for those in the know however - 987.2 Caymans with a center radiator have a panel that fits in the center radiator inlet that has plastic cross beams that match the way the covers over the side radiators look. I like this factory look even though it doesn't provide as much protection as a mesh, so maybe this is purely academic but does anyone know if the 987.2 center grille surround will attach to a 987.1 bumper? I'm aware the bumpers and side grilles are different in design, but from the pictures the center area looks to be identical in dimensions - but I don't have a 987.2 nearby to compare. Here are the part numbers For the 987.2 987-505-555-03-G2L and for the 987.1 the same piece is 987-505-555-01-01C Interestingly, they look similar in the diagrams but the physical part looks much different. the 03-G2L version has those plastic slats like I mentioned - here's a pic to show what I mean:

Just an update in case anyone finds this via Google - the snaps on the 987.2 part do not exactly line up, even though the shape does. I suppose you could modify the 987.2 part to fit, but it is not a drop in replacement, and since the only reason I considered this was as an easy drop in to avoid the DIY grille mesh method, I will be doing that instead. Cheers
