Cleaned out my radiators

After 3 summers of driving my 2001 Boxster I found time to remove the bumper and clean out the radiators. I read some how to posts and watched a few videos like Burner's. I didn't jack up the car, and only removed 3 plastic pins in the fender liner to get to the screw under the side light. I turned the wheel to the right to make room to get my hand behind the liner. I was surprised at how much stuff was in between and around the radiators. I can't say when or if it was ever done before. My car has 50,000 miles and is pretty clean overall. If the stuff was allowed to get wet it could cause corrosion around the outside, and it does block some airflow. Best tip I learned was to spray some WD-40 or something like that on the plastic pins to make them easier to pull out. The replacement went slow and easy, check for alignment in all edges as you push it back on. I spent about 3 hours and took pictures I'll try to post.
