Mod 3 - Grill Block
I made my first one last year but never got round to fitting it as I was thinking about changing cars. The tax man has, this very weekend, fixed that idea so a-modding we will go.

Hello!
Well, I made a similar mod to my Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI, covering completely my grill, but a space for the bonnet opening clip. You left an entrance for the air input of the car, in the very same place I have it.
My question is if I can improve my cover with an air opening too.
I have driven with my car until 30 degrees centigrades and engine temp had never went high. It keeps always at the same level. The vent had never start also. Now, in winter, the level is the same. This makes me come to the conclusion that the 1.9 TDI engine is overcooled, and the mod is very convenient.
I think I will try an opening for the air intake as you did. This should improve air cooling of the air intake, though worsening aero.
Another improvement of yr cover over mine is that you cover the bonnet opening clip with the help of a tape.
I donīt know how to attach the picture of my grill cover for you to see. Send me an email where I can send it to you.
