320touring · 02-09-2013, 06:29 PM

2nd tank in today...

621.3 miles, 49.06L of fuel= 57.57imp mpg

Also, managed to make a grillblock for the car today- certainly helps with keeping the temp more constant! Also easy to remove if the temp rises

Here's some pics to show how I did it for under £3.00

:

£0.79 worth of Pipe lagging and some scissors:

The bare grill (badge was already missing!)

Detail of the slats- where I'm going to slot in the pipe lagging

First piece cut and trial fitted

2nd/3rd/4th/5th pieces fitted

£1.00 can of primer

£1.00 can of Black Paint

The finished article
