Nothing a bit of McGyver tape won't sort out!

You wouldn't happen to have pictures posted somewhere, would you?
For now, I'll try to find the cardboard+alufoil I made in the summer (to
block heat from the solar roof), put it on top of the engine, foil-side down, and see how that works. I hope the monster that lives in the depths of our garage and feeds on random trash hasn't started munching on it yet...
EDIT (06.12.2010):
Not the best fit, but almost perfect. Good enough for government work, anyway. I haven't had too many occasions to test it out, only once, actually. It didn't take more than 1.5h to cool down to 25°C, but it was only -15°C outside. Damned aluminum block!
And even if I do upgrade to a better material, I'm not going to be able to install it (without amputating fingers later) until it warms up.
