Cardboard over radiator will not work on moder cars regarding engine heating. Older cars used to have coolant pumped all the time the engine was running. Now cars only pump the coolant through when the engine is hot, as to not waste energy heating up coolant!

I find if you leave the car in gear a little longer than normal, obviously not revving it, the engine will warm quicker.
