Robert,
What brand did you go with? I was on the RunCool Hood Louvers website a week or so ago, and their install video was on a Disco.
Something I was thinking about also, was either wrapping or ceramic coating the exhaust manifolds. From what I understand 60-80% of the heat comes from them.
From what I researched, water was not a problem, but personally, i will try to keep my coils protected(although they are already pretty protected). After all, the louvers are facing the rear and as long as they are not too near the windscreen, they should create a low pressure area(at speed), whereas too near the windscreen it would have more of a cowl induction effect from the high pressure.
I have also had people shaking their head when I talk of painting the engine black to radiate heat better than plain aluminum.
