Default Wire mesh spoiler grill insert / 964

Looking to find a replacement source for my broken wire mesh grill insert on my 964. Found one in the UK, but shipping was more than the grill!!! Thanks

Have a look at your OPC

The wire mesh grill insert is not that expensive!!

Hope this helps

Are we talking about the front or the back? The front vent grille (a small wire mesh insert underneath the windshield) costs about $20 from Pelican, however the frame comes separately (its not obvious till you dismantle it) and costs $38. Before ordering a frame, take the old one out, separate it from the grille and see if it will clean up. My grille was about as bad as you can get but the frame cleaned up like absolute new, so I cancelled my order for the frame part!

Part #'s at Pelican were as follows, Grille: S-559-411-00, Frame: C-559-401-00.


Hope this helps.

Mel, not that I see the relevence or how this info assists, but the front vent grille is I believe wire with a plastic surround.

I believe Southampton76 is actually referring to the bumper ventilation grill (964 505 141 00), which is indeed plastic and retails around $65) but this is not clear from the post.

Does anyone have a pic of the wire mesh mod in their front spoiler. Curious to see how it looks on a 964. TIA
