Nice to see another aeromodded Metro coming along!
Do the new deflectors ahead of the front tires actually stick out farther than the tire edge? I ask because I saw you wrote:

I made some extensions. This increases the frontal area slightly

If the tire sidewall is just visible looking straight on, that likely would have been fine, and wouldn't have increased A at all. The airflow coming off the bumper likely isn't flowing straight aft, so
completely hiding the tires behind the plastic (or metal) isn't strictly required. (It's the same reason cars with front tire "spats" don't line them up with the edge of the sidewall.)
