Interesting pics.
Next you should relocate the radiator just behind the fan, seal off the area between the fan and radiator, and shape the outlet duct to gradually increases in diameter.

Just for fun, anyone want to guess what this should/might do?

I can see it now as the newest trend on here: Detachable front and rear glass. Imagine it, Metros topping 100 mpg.

Seriously, you know you want to try it.
That would be fun in the winter!
