It's cold

It's so cold that my aftermarket water temp gauge flashes at me because it is below the warning point. Ok, it's only just below freezing, but a 650cc engine with a good sized OEM radiator takes most of my drive to work to get the stock needle to the middle, and my aftermarket up to 140F. I have a turbo in the car(OEM), and I have water injection installed pre and post turbo. The intake has a hose attachment that goes behind the headlight. I am thinking about pulling it out and letting it suck air from toward the turbo.

here is a pic. The turbo is above the license plate, and the radiator is on the opposite side.
Also, the top grill is half blocked already(to protect the turbo), and I am considering blocking the other half off too. I will start there, and see how the temps do. If that doesn't work, then I will try to block the bottom half with something attached to the grill, not to the radiator

Anyone see any problems with this?
