Surface radiators

Back in 1978 a Formula 1 car (Brabham BT46) had surface radiators which uses the air flowing on the body panels to cool the engine instead of opening up the body for grilles and openings thus less drag but at a cost to weight, so would it be good for fuel milage, and if so how would it look like in a car?
