Does everyone have a different front bumper than me? Are these all aftermarket bumpers or modified from stock? i have the basic 2 hole bumper and i haven't seen all these different ones on stock cars so I'm curious.

Yes, you need to remove the bumper to remove the grills.

When I cleaned my radiators, they were clogged by leaves and insects, I really don't think the two slats stop a lot going in.

Thanks for the reply, and in response to the last question, my bumper is stock and only has the 2 vents also and it's a 99.

Thanks Guys!!!! Now what was once a beautiful picture has become the stuff of nightmares! Now I will wake up in a cold sweat wondering if I should remove my grills so I can stop and remove all those leaves every 5 minutes that my car has been hoovering up!! LOL :mad:

That's my car so I can tell you that it has the stock grills in there. They are painted black so you can't really see them. With that being said if you look close there is a leaf stuck in the passenger side. No matter what grill or lack of grill you go with. I would recommend taking the bumper off at least once a year to clean out the radiators. :)

Many thanks
 
One of those rare moments for me "Right place at the right time"

I had just bought my Boxster and went on eBay looking at "Boxster Stuff" and some guy had ordered these and he had a 987 Boxster so of course these would not fit..he put them up at a very reasonable price and I bid and won....in fact I was the only bidder as I recall.....thanks for the kind words

Take them out, spray them black. Youwill loose that cheap silver look and it won't look like something fell out of the holes in the bumper!
