I find almost everybody around Göteborg just drives the same summer or winter. Speed 'limits' are more suggested sppeds so most drive 20 km / h faster.
For the grill I found some corrogated plastic and have made several grill blocks, with each block having a slightly different sized holes. Then as the temperatures change I can swap the grills.
My plan (if I every get round to it) is to have a complete block with several adjustable vents that I can manually open.
Has the Vaz got an under engine cover ? - I bought an aftermarket one and I have found that its helps a little with economy, but it keeps the engine soooo much cleaner.
