Added the side panels this evening and blocked any gaps with Bluetac/duct tape to ensure that the air couldn't escape around the sides or base of the radiator.  Peak temperature seen when running at 40mph was 95 degrees C.  (This occurred when travelling east and held steady.)  Then removed all three air deflectors and did the same run again.  Peak temperature seen this time flickered between 95 and 96 degrees.  Ambient air temperature was 21 for both runs.  

So, from this short test, it looks as if the additional cooling effect from having the side and bottom deflectors in place was less than 1 degree C.
