One minor word of warning here.

When I brought my 996 the previous owner had put mesh in front of the oil cooler, but had removed most of it as that too had got chewed up by stones.

I didn't bother to check the V piece, on while on the way back from the ring one of these remaining bits stuck to the side of the openning finally made a hole in the front of the oil cooler, totally coating the rear tyre !!
(Btw I don't blame the previous owner - I should have checked it for myself.)

If this had happened while at the ring I doubt I'd be writing this.

Also, I have noticed that my 998 V piece also slightly rubs the front of the cooler.
So, a word of caution. By all means put the mesh on, but keep an eye on it.

Cheers,
John.
