A radiator, picked up some road debris


As it bled in the service line, oops


On the lift, such a perfect stream

I just realized that CSF makes a center radiator, see 7060 and 7068....

Thanks. I got really lucky and found some chalk vinyl wrap on Amazon that matches and used some tracing paper to build a crappy template. It was a pretty easy DIY. I bet you could find a vinyl wrapping company to match your cars color or come close enough.

ColorX ( https://www.colorxlabs.com/ ) is a place I have used to get matching vinyl - perfect match every time.

I have not yet paid but should be picking it up this afternoon. The quote from a Porsche dealer was just over $1,300 including the loaner car for a few days. This happened out of town so I decided to go for it, this seemed like the path of least resistance as I could continue my trip. When looking online for what a new radiator would cost me I see I can get an OEM one for just under $1000 or a replacement for just under $700. I also saw the CSF version was just under $700, it seems to have aluminum end tanks, not sure if this is an upgrade or not.

There are several epoxy type patch kits that I could have used to patch the hole until I got home, I might get one of those kits and put it with the tire plug kit and keep in the car.

Sorry about your incident with the stick, how did that happen? Was this a parking lot accident? I guess the grill guard would have helped for smaller debris.


Edit: 1289 out the door including a loaner car that I did not fill up with gas, oops. The radiator itself was way cheaper than I mentioned above, when I googled the part it is not even listed of r a GTS 4.0

Looks like a good option for direct replacement. I do not want to change my silver stitching / alcantara boot. Ideally would like the silver in the **** changed to photo above, carbon.

Can anyone confirm?

I like the hanging bottle holders; are those custom made?
