This *might* help. I made an album of all the pictures in the Car Styling magazine of this Peugeot VERA :

Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum - EcoModder.com - cfg83's Album: 1981 Peugeot Vera

The magazine didn't number the mods, so the numbers I inserted are my best guess of the mods in relation to the bar graph. I couldn't find a mod that "matched" #7, so it's a mystery as far as I can tell.

I just noticed that this appears to be the source of the drawings :

G. Roussillon: Aerodynamic optimization of the Peugeot VERA-01. Impact of aerodynamics on vehicle design. Inder-science enterprises Ltd. UK.

Also keep in mind that some of these are *not* relevant to today's cars, while others are proven. For instance, the 1st gen Honda Insight used this type of wheel-well in the front :
