I have a Mk IV VW Golf but it is a similar color, does that count? I also use the pipe insulation grill block. I painted my blue grill bars black and stuffed the insulation between the grill bars from the front. It's pretty stealth too. The upper grill has been blocked year round for 3 years. In winter I split the insulation and push it over the 1 or 2 of the lower grill bars too.
