Got around to doing this today. All this junk was from only one side, and I couldn't even get it all. Will have to modify my Vac to really get in there. Other than dropping the whole bumper is there a way to come at it by removing a panel under the car?

I recently removed the bumper on my 08 c2s. I wanted to clean it out and install some mesh protectors. This is what I found on the driver side between the ductwork and the radiator.

As Macster noted, you gotta remove the bumper and get between the radiator and condenser. Here are my Boxster radiators at around 194K miles....

Note this is debris between the radiator and condenser... note the radiator hanging forward.

Even the 918 does not have radiator screens...
