997.2 Front bumper grille inserts

Anyone located mesh grille inserts for 997.2 (without aerokit / other body mods) to help keep leaves / other debris out of coolers ?

Thank you

Are there any grilles that do NOT require removing the front bumper?

Let's remove it then, I'd be happy to lend a hand if I was in the same continent.

Sorry I may not have been clear in my post, this FVD mesh grille kit is what we are referring to,


I just got confirmation from Rhonda that the mesh grilles are meant go behind the stock plastic grilles.

EDIT:
Here are pics of the black grilles I ordered.

i feel like this is one thing that P engineers overlooked. Even the new 991 doesnt address this. the mesh grills help, especially larger pieces, but it doesnt prevent all the crap. Just ask gt3 owners.
