I think Sven7 (Tyler) covered narrowing a VW already a few pages back. Had a video of one in action, which I said: "Poor Little Car".
For myself this thread has opened me up to looking at the car's body as two pieces, the area below the top of the wheels, and the area above it. Most often we see this expressed as a hood and a trunk, but this is very often non-aero.
A wedged bottom for the wheels, and a teardrop for the canopy seems most practical (think Daytona prototype) if you can reposition your occupants per the upper constraints.
Sketched it out.
