Is there a grill or screen for the radiator slots on the GT3 RS?

There seems to be more flex in the bumper as a whole, and I would imagine that Porsche felt a need for the frame or they would not otherwise put it in the first place.
I worry about high speed effects and the bumper flexing and disrupting downforce on the front of the car. I hit an indicated 186mph and just got to thinking.
Also I think the speedo is a bit optimistic by about 15mph at that speed.

Gert answered my question there are 2 separate bumper covers with radiator outlets at the top:
-The GT3 RS cover which is constructed with the grills installed and formed to be flush with the body surface.
-The Cup cover which has the grills as separate parts.
Thanks Gert

But arn't the motorsport screens flat, unformed scrrens, so when mounted behind the cover they are not flush with the body surface?
The RS screens (supplied only with a complete bumper cover) are formed to fill in the vent hole so the finished surface of the screen is flush with body surface.

I just went through this when i put the RS bumper on the GT3.
The RS bumper has the screens installed at the factory and they are embossed. The RS bumper dues not come with sceeens for the bottom of the grill in front of the radiators.
the cup bumper is different as the screens are separate and not embossed (ie flush with the top of the bumper. Also the cup bumper has the 3 holes at the bottom closed up and the tow hook is a vertical slot that needs to be cut out of the bumper

I have SS screening that I am now thinking of just using safety wire to put on faces of radiators. That may offer the protection that is needed from track debris etc. Tomorrow I will "look into" situation- literally!
