As I understand it the Bonneville style rear deck spoiler, it must fill out the aero-template shape (
see small image attachment - bottom), and yet you still do not have the efficiencies of air attachment.
I agree that it is a shame to mess with the greenhouse, but do not see a way around it with such ambitious Cd goals.
Lowering his lofty aspirations is the only real alternative, isn't it?
Personally, I like the car the way it is and would not change it's looks. However, it's not my car.
NOTE:
Speaking of my own car, I studied a version of a raise Bonneville plane, it just happens to look like a wing but is not intended to act as one. This identity confusion may have prevented others from understanding my intent.
See attachments.
Perhaps such a device could be used on this Triumph.

Image directly above is different designs to illustrate template fitting.
One might call the two images above that (
using Sponge Bob) a raised platform Bonneville spoiler plane in lieu of the more traditional one seen on the Corvette (
far above) that is simply an extension of the trunk plane with perhaps some winglets to contain or delay vortex swirls.
EDIT-2:
I found another thread were people were discussing similar concepts.
Flat Bonneville-type spoiler

Once again these examples do not maintain constant air attachment and are considered less describable than full Kammbacks.
EDIT-3:
Same idea, just not done real pretty.

A more graceful example.
