See how it behaves with the increased pressure.

At 3 bar, you'll have most of the benefits from increased tyre pressure.
Increasing the pressure further is only going to give small improvements.

Windshield-wiper cover...
I think it could be a problem, because it could be in the way of the washing-fluid..
On the pic of the green car, the nozzles for the wiper fluid seem to be aft of the bonnet , on a plastic part ?

You could build a simple deflector on the bonnet itself - try it out with something simple like cardboard or insulation plates (like waterproof styrodur) cut to shape and taped on .

The effect might not be very big on your fuel consumption, but it may cut down noise as well - wind noise is a perceptible indication of troublesome aerodynamics.
