Has anyone come up with (or even bothered to come up with!) some way of keeping the dashboard air vents on a 164 cool? I've noticed that being black, they get very hot, and it must reduce the efficiency of the air conditioning considerably. It's only after an hour or two that they cool down, so they must be taking a lot of the cold air from the air con. I was toying with the idea of putting some silver foil on it, but I guess it could be distracting as well as looking daft!

Not really expecting anyone to have thought about this, but just wondered…
