Where might I bolt it? I am planning a trip up to Northern Europe and have yet to have any cold start issues (1 month of ownership so far)
Any suggestions?

Its goes over the front grill and can be left open in hot weather or closed in cold

Thanks Blackpool. Would I be putting it inside or outside? I have a non standard front grille. Could it be cable tied on the tubular frame inside the bonnet?

Somewhere in a quiet car park Mr T? :)

you would be better forgetting about it.... simply drill two holes in the radiator frame and screw in two large headed self tappers... take a piece of plywood drill two large holes and then elongate with a small drill.... place on and off when needed

You could put it inside if need be or as mister T said, anything that restricts the cold air to rad.Another option is come to sunny blackpool where the weather never drops below 70 degrees :wink:

Will look into the options, thanks for the suggestions. Thanks for the invite Blackpool, but am planning to go a fair bit further North, will be during Summer, so hopefully not too cold. However I wish to be prepared for most eventualities.

I'm amazed it took this long for anyone to mention what to me (and most) is the obvious double entendre.

Can you explain to me please....I didnt see one because i've led a sheltered life, so you can use pictures too if you deem it necessary.
