Nice and simple You cover the bottom grille either from the inside (good) or from the outside (better) with black or clear plastic). Once you stuff both grilles your engine temp should be 5-10°C higher, impoving its efficiency (hypermiling a modern turbodiesel usually doesn't allow it to reach optimal temperature).

Could you direct that warm air into the car and/or under the hood?
