Does anyone have the 997.2 with a center front radiator and Aerokit? if so, is there a radiator duct between the bumper and radiator? I can't seem to come up with a part #

thanks in advance

I installed a third radiator on my 2012 997.2 last month at about 30,000 miles. The amount of garbage between the radiators and the a/c grilles was surprising. Gravel, paper, leaves etc. was easily removed with the front bumper off. It also made checking the operation of the radiator fans. They often are stuck with a piece of gravel lodged between the fan blades and the housing. The addition of a third radiator and a half gallon of Porsche antifreeze seemed to be helpful. Cleaning the standard radiators was probably just as valuable. I also replaced the coolant cap just as a precaution. I recommend the Zunsport grills especially with the third radiator. BTW, the third radiator kit for the 997.1 works very well on the 997.2. These are the parts you will need for the 997.2 third radiator:
