   Seat Ibiza splitters, Renault Laguna splitter and there are many aftermaket ones. I like them personally if they are subtle. You can get some from dealers or salvage yards.

   Laguna splitters dont fit saxo's initially but you make them fit by chopping and bending, then attching them. Personally i love the laguna splitter 'Chip' has on his VTR

    Yea that does look pretty shabby to be honest. I have seen some rear splitters that do look good but only if colour coded and fitted neatly and professionally.
    
    +1 exhaust sticks out way too much

    splitters and deffusers dont work on small hatches, they are ment to stop understeer and pull the back of the car to the ground. If its purely for asthetics go for it, otherwise leave them well alone.
