Most engineers find Kelly Johnson's dicta of KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid - is a good policy.

I like the idea of fully enclosing the front (steering) wheels with a shell that attaches to the steering link. Another possibility is take basjoos' roller operated skirt and make it cover the wheel more fully.

Your vehicle is fairly short and should be a snap to park.
