FITTING ZUNSPORT GRILLES TO MY PORSCHE CAYMAN 987.1 |

In this video I find out how to fit the Zunsport Grille set to my 2006 Porsche Cayman 987.1. I have been asked many many times since I bought the Cayman and created my channel to get a set of these grills. I am not the most practical person, in-fact I do tend to avoid doing anything that involves diy. But I was assured that these grills are super easy to instal. Watch the video to find out how I get on.
As mentioned in the video Zunsport are giving all of my Subscribers 15% off all grill sets on their website using the code below. Please make sure to give me a mention when buying and also tag me on the socials when you have fitted them.

Installed these many many years ago, 2007, they still look great ! 👍

[@JoeTalksCars]

I’m genuinely surprised by how good they look. Good to hear they hold up well.

[@juba_cap]

I saw this video a few months ago and I really wanted to get one of these to my Cayman. I’m in UK this week, I bought it with your viewers’ discount which saved me a few £ Can’t wait to go back to Brazil and install it! Thanks Joe!

[@JoeTalksCars]

That’s amazing! Thank you!

[@ROYALUSTER]

Hey Joe! I always wanted to put some of those on my 987.1. Happy to see you back working on the your 987.1. Thank you for the content!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you! You should get them, super easy to fit and do protect the car:)

[@cpjtaylor]

Thanks Joe. Decided to buy some of these today based on this video and how easy to fit they are. Cheers

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you! I was surprised how simple they were. Just need to order the front now

[@chrispig7748]

Great idea, will look into getting some for my Boxster

[@JoeTalksCars]

You should. Even better with 15% off. I wasn’t that lucky but ZUNSPORT wanted to share the code to the subscribers:)

[@popeye9048]

Ordered a set of these today. Been on my to do list for a while. Thanks for reminding me 😄

[@JoeTalksCars]

Great:) I’m so happy with mine! They look ace. GT3 vibes.

[@popeye9048]

@@JoeTalksCars you'd think for the price that they'd be a perfect fit. Had to fettle about to get them sitting right.

[@M_IkeLeBlanc]

Happy to see the damage was minimal. I installed RGS grille screens the second day I owned my Cayman.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Lucky! Very lucky

[@gonzowithseanzo2751]

Thx Joe. Love your vids.. The gate part was funny. I'm loving my 07 cayman S. I bought the premium car shield protection package based on common issues with these cars. Happy new year .

[@JoeTalksCars]

Surprised you can get warranty on them! It only I knew. Just assumed an old car wouldn’t just be a roll of the dice.

[@gonzowithseanzo2751]

@Joe Talks Cars I was surprised too . Probably able to because of fairly low miles. 41,000 miles. It's an awesome car to drive ! Cheers

[@VictoryHand]

That's really interesting about the gearbox radiator. I had wondered why my manual just had this scoop in there. Definitely worth getting the gril on the auto then so I will keep that in mind. I didn't even know gearboxes needed a radiator.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Yeah I wasn’t aware until I met an owner with a manual. He liked the way mine appeared to have a proper air feed. Looks better really but more issues if a stone smashes it. Need to get it covered up I think

[@danparry834]

Definitely a worthwhile modification!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Absolutely:) easy to do as it turns out.

[@justinmaccreery2490]

Great video! Just got a 987.2 and after watching your video, looked up Zunsport Grille 2009 Porsche Boxster because replacing those radiators out front is expensive. Thanks for showing how easy it is to install them.

[@smiler921]

Fitted some today on my gen 2 cayman. Different and definitely not as easy to fit, had to bend the lower bracket both sides. Got there in the end and they haven’t fallen off yet

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thanks for your comment, yeah I want to avoid replacing the radiators at all costs. I would say even if people don't like the look of the grills they should probably still consider them just to protect against a huge bill.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Really? maybe the Gen 2 is different. These just popped in. No bending required.

[@johngilbey3334]

Great video Joe …. I had an issue with my air-con which was traced to faulty rads and therefore they required changing! I have toyed with the idea of the protectors but now watching your video I will certainly get some … they seem extremely easy to fit …. which area does the self tapping screw secure itself in to? best wishes with the repair can’t believe how little damage it caused …. lucky! …. looking forward to the next videos 👍

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you!!! Yeah defiantly get them! You will find it a doddle to fit and the look of the car is transformed

[@simonknight5531]

Replaced both radiators on my 2007 Boxster a few months ago. I'm hoping they are still undamaged. Just ordered Zunsport grills with your discount code. Cheers, keep on with the vids.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Great! Zunsport have done well out of my little channel. They should be fine but you do right fitting the covers. Such an expensive thing to repair.

[@zaink7037]

Looking good. First mod I'd do if I get a Cayman is led spar lights. They come with grills which should protect the radiator from debris

[@JoeTalksCars]

Ah yeah I’ve seen those. Not sure if I’m a fan of the led part tho, maybe it would grow on me. Just looks a little bit Halfords

[@JoeTalksCars]

Ah yeah I’ve seen those. Not sure if I’m a fan of the led part tho, maybe it would grow on me. Just looks a little bit Halfords

[@jeconomides]

Really useful. I recently had to pay the local OPC a bunch of money to clean out the back of the grills. I wish I had these fitted. All the others I have seen online are way to complicated to fit.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Now they are cleaned out get them ordered:)

[@jeconomides]

@@JoeTalksCars well it was last year. So I’ll have to coordinate this next time I get them cleaned!

[@s10lucky]

Yup. Convinced! I shall order some.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Don’t forget the discount code 👍

[@s10lucky]

@@JoeTalksCars absolutely. Thanks. Can you give me a hand fitting them 😂😂.

[@JoeTalksCars]

@@s10lucky 🤣🤣 think il have a spare 5 mins

[@johnob1824]

Iv gotvthese, them are easy to fit, center one a pain in the arse

[@JoeTalksCars]

I have that to look forward to then! Need to get it ordered.

[@niallcassidy7219]

Great to see the Cayman back, and very impressed with the grilles.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you :) yeah I’m looking forward to making more videos this year on it.

[@prof_tim]

I’ve wondered about fitting those; I don’t generally like modifications but I can see the point of protecting the rads /condensers, having had to have new condensers fitted last year… Question is, black or silver?

[@JoeTalksCars]

I’m the same! Don’t want to modify it as such but this does offer a huge advantage. Ultimately should prevent a huge bill if a stone was to hit the front. I’d say it depends on the colour of car, I imagine a blue or even red one would look great with silver. Black is just more OEM

[@prof_tim]

@@JoeTalksCars Meteor Grey. Probably black grilles, I reckon. It is going in tomorrow for a new water pump (always intended to get that done as a preventative measure before it hit 50k miles, didn’t get around to it and at 50.25k miles it has failed … of course … but thankfully I noticed the bearing noise before it let go, so no damage). I’ll think about grilles again once the bank balance has recovered.

[@julian987r4]

There must be a more OEM solution where they sit behind the slats rather than in front of?

[@JoeTalksCars]

👍 might do this for the Center one

[@ThatCaymanGuy]

well thats pretty easy!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Surprised myself. I’m practically a mechanic now. 🤣

[@ThatCaymanGuy]

@@JoeTalksCars Have you changed the oil yet?

[@barrycampbell8861]

Did you install the centre grille?

[@JoeTalksCars]

Not yet. I want one tho. Just need to get round to order it.

[@garrymartin3804]

Joe please please please put some led rear lights in they lift the look of the car so much and they are plug n play easy nice vid by the way👍

[@user-fx8dy2fw5y]

that sounds a good idea, I have a 987.2 Boxster, can you please send me the link for the LED lights.

[@garrymartin3804]

@@user-fx8dy2fw5y got mine second hand on ebay

[@julian987r4]

They look terrible! so out of character of the car.

[@JoeTalksCars]

I’m looking at them right now. The modified bug has been caught again. Promised it wouldn’t happen after the last car.

[@MrRoyck10]

Thanks Joe, I am trying to order a set of grills for my Cayman using the 15% discount code 👨‍💻but it’s not valid, please can you assist?

[@JoeTalksCars]

Il message ZUNSPORT now and see if they can help:)

[@MrRoyck10]

@@JoeTalksCars thanks Joe I have now placed my order with the discount intact.

[@papshank73]

Did this after spending over £500 on new condensers…..did the front and little ones on the rear. Didn’t like the look of the kidney grills so left them off. Zunsport were great on the customer service as well!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Yeah well worth protecting. They cost such a lot and so easily damaged! Agreed with the side ones, tempted to get some to try but not sure on the look.

[@Si-Drive]

It’s such a strange design flaw from Porsche. For my 981 Cayman, I just bought some matte black aluminium mesh, cut it to size and fed them through the main centre duct with small black cable ties keeping them in place. Cost me £20 and look much better than the ZunSport ones.

[@JoeTalksCars]

That’s cool! I would have never attempted to make my own 🤣 this was my limit. It’s odd isn’t it how they didn’t think to put these on as standard. It affects all Porsches more or less and I don’t think the mesh makes it look less nice.

[@boab55]

How much are these thanks

[@JoeTalksCars]

Think from memory they were about £140

[@p____p4tel]

Modify Modify Modify. That is the way to go. Start with grills, you'll end up with a crazy wrap hopefully !!!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Haha my last car I swapped the interior LEDs. When is sold it only the doors and roof were standard. Full engine conversion, the lot. Regretted it tho so this one won’t be getting anything too mad.

[@wernerdanler2742]

What about the gate? 😆 I'm glad the car did not sustain to much damage. Why don't you turn that mic around and put it on the outside of your shirt so it won't bother you so much? It's bluetoothed to your phone or cam, right?

[@JoeTalksCars]

Do you know what. The gate actually went back together! Well my father in law sorted it. Unbelievable really! Haha yeah some t shirts don’t hold it on so well going to invest in a wired microphone:)

[@mikekingsborough1]

😢 No Joe.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Why? Do you not approve

[@anthonyjaswinski5732]

Are you still loving your Cayman S? I get people coming up to me asking how much? I have 112k now and it still makes me smile every time driving. Some kid yelled "that shit is fire!". Didn't know what it meant but hold on to your car.

[@JoeTalksCars]

I adore it! With the better weather coming it makes me appreciate it more. Can’t wait to get out loads in the summer and enjoy it and more importantly share it on here:)

[@chrispig7748]

I can confirm a complete muppet can fit these as I installed them on my 987 Boxster and I know absolutely nothing

[@JoeTalksCars]

I heard it was but as most things to do with cars are complicated I didn’t hold my breath. Was very pleased, they look ace.

[@BrianJohnson-kh7mg]

How would you remove them if you ever needed to?

[@JoeTalksCars]

Undo the self tapper and pop them out. However it’s probably unlikely you would need to remove them. The bumper off is probably the best option.

[@BrianJohnson-kh7mg]

@@JoeTalksCars thanks. Yeah I was just worried that if I popped them on and then decided I didn't like the look. I would want to be able to remove them.

[@N911GT2]

The prices of these things are insane. Makes no sense. At those prices replacing a radiator is about the same.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Nah the rads are 1000s to replace. These are a few hundred and clip on. Plus they look great.

[@prof_tim]

Just revisiting this as autumn (and leaves) is around the corner. If that idiot 😂 can do it then I reckon this idiot can do it too. Thanks for that.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you! Hope you managed to get it done! Worth the money and effort.

[@julian987r4]

Edit: if you Google ‘Rennline screens cayman 987’ you will find a set that sit behind the slats ‘Rennline developed the "Original" Radiator protection system with years of proven results • Your car's nose already looks perfect, our kits install BEHIND the louvers to retain a desired factory look’ That’s surely the best ones rather than the Zunsport ones as I think they look terrible. No offence, great video and install but boy do they look nasty.

[@JoeTalksCars]

I’ve just looked! They do look really really good. I am happy with the ZUNSPORT ones and yes they do sit infront of the grill but I like it. Really grown on me.
