Can anyone provide any advice of whether a front air dam would benefit my Fabia?

My Skoda Fabia has a very small OEM damn (no more than an inch) which sits just ahead of an OEM undertray that seals off the bottom of the engine bay nicely. The car also sits on stock suspension so the ride height is typically hight of a eco hatch back.

Would a front air dam only increase the frontal area of the car? My understanding is you want to decrease the flow of air through the turbulent underbody, but would that need to be a balanced trade off with frontal area, no?

Sorry, many questions, and no pics at the moment.
