Winter Grill Cover?

Hi,

There are a number of winter grill covers available for various FIAT models on ebay right now, and my CS1 can't seem to get warm enough with the winter chill set in; did the 124 Spider have a winter grill cover/baffle as well?

Thanks,
Mark

Years ago when I lived in W.Pa a piece of card board did the trick.

start by blocking only half the drivers side

Check your thermostat. If your cooling system is working correctly it should work in any temp. Blocking air to the radiator is a band aid, not a solution to a problem.

Certainly a consideration but, the factory supplied these things when new so there's something else here as well.

I do remember my first Spider (used to me) came with a Coupe's grill shroud.

That one was just a vinyl panel with flaps, these newer one's I've seen seem engineered.

Thanks,
