Has anyone fabricated a winter front for their Q7?

I'm looking to get things warmer quicker and keep them warm in persistant subzero conditions. I read the CNRB engine in the '13+ has a cooling system with a bypass circuit for the oil cooler and crankcase to speed warmup time, but figure blocking some airflow will only help.

Cardboard and zip-ties - we've had a long stretch of -25C to -30C. Helps a bit. I can't find any specific winter fronts made for it. Cutting down a front for a truck might be an option.

Excellent job on the A3, that is exactly the motivation I needed to buy some material and get the sewing machine out. I guess I don't have to be the gu with a flattened diaper box zip tied to the front of a Q7.
