i had my bumper off the other day as well to clean out the crap from the radiators.
taking the bumper is wa too simple. should take about 15 mins or so, and it will give you a chance to clean up behind there.
good luck

Let's be honest,it takes more then 15 minutes to take the bumper off. The hard part is aligning everything when putting the bumper back on. Changing the vents & cleaning the radiators are easy and take very little time when the bumper is off.

I'm in agreement with this post, it's easier with two although one can do it. The process has to be done slowly, the potential for scratching the cover is abundant. I made register marks in key spots to aid in the reassembly.

Hey Grizzly...
I realize this is a Boxster forum, but you can't post a picture that shows only a glimpse of that green Mach 1 in the background. I need to see a better shot.

Anyone have this issue on the 987- TSB info
Just an FYI.
Fading grill inserts was a TSB issue on the early 987's. The TSB# is W608. And would be replaced under warranty.

Seriously?! A TSB for faded paint?! That's a riot!
We live with various causes of catastrophic engine failure in our Boxster and there is a TSB for faded paint, wow.
I'll give a +1 on the bumper job, removal is not difficult, hardest part were those annoying little plastic fasteners in the wheel well liner. It really is much easier to put back on if you have another set of hands. I used that same tutorial linked above, I was actually able to do it with out removing the wheels, but I have skinny arms.

Kabel, there is a TSB too for a missing washer on the exhaust tip (W574). True, I am not making this stuff up!

Thanks! Very nice, I remember those seats and that shifter very well. Great color, too.
Is this thread totally hi-jacked now, or what?
