That looks really nice and clean. I'd be curious how you fastened them on the inside of the bumper.

I used 2 Zip ties on top and 2 on each side plus 1 small screw at the bottom

Looks great - is that a metal or plastic screen.

So here’s my question after looking at various pictures of the front of the 992 equipped with the Sports Design package...there clearly are exposed radiators on the left and right side of the front bumper....but is there also a radiator (or something) in the center? I see a lot of plastic in the center portion, but not obvious if there is also an exposed radiator in this region? Hard to tell?

There is no radiator in the middle, just hard black plastic so no need for grill but my car comes with a small camera for surround view

Did you protect the edge of the pieces you cut out with anything like a rubber edging of some sort so it does not scratch the car.

Thanks, JG

No I did not but I tape up the area on the car to protect the paint from scratch

How did you measure the opening? Did you add an extra 1cm around?

Did you make a paper pattern first?

How did you cut the screen so there were no sharp edges?

Thanks

How did you attach the screen to the car. It is hard to see in the photo.

@smjr - Any chance you could provide a brief step by step narrative on how you went about your DIY installation ?

Seems like many of us here could benefit from your help.

Cheers
