Macan - Rad Protection
Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2018 10:53 am
Hi Folks
I know there has been some discussion on the forum about damaged radiators due to stones and the use of grilles to protect them.
I've been making some enquiries and spoke to Peter Langston who is the managing director of Zunsport to see if there was a product on the horizon. I gather that they have not been able to get hold of a vehicle to properly check tolerances on the active aero which impacts the fixing points - they use spring loaded stainless steel clips which need an anchor point from what I know of their other products.
There is sufficient demand that it's viable to produce them but based on drawings they're concerned that the active aero may be problematic. However, with a physical check, they may be able to come up with a solution.
If anyone is interested and Wolverhampton/Birmingham based, Peter said he'd really like to have a chat and have chance to look at a vehicle - his email is peterlangston[at]zunsport.co.uk.
I'm sure you could make an arrangement regarding costs/time and a free set.
I have no commercial interest other than considering purchase of the final product.
Thanks
Alex
