   well m8 spend 2000 and then keep 1000 for the insurance lol !! if your keeping it standard it not much you'll do so alloys maybe engine conversion or you can do styling inside! why not go full out, on a ice system fibre glass installs make summit special!! leather retrims up 2 can do alot m8!

   Tis up to you man, Youll find once you have a kit fitted it will cost you more than your standard kit to maintain. It will chip easier, it will scratch easier and aftermarket kits dont fit perfect on cars... Then youv'e got to think about repairs... you lower your car on 17's with a bodykit and speed bumps become your worst nightmare...
   
   Keep it simple man because you will regret it in the long run, i have...
   
   If your dead set on getting a kit get the Dimma kit and put your car on some nice euro rims or even some sprayed c2 rims.

    best advice i can give you is save it! if you spend it, you'll wish you didn't when it comes to selling up time!

    Invest it, start up paying a mortgage on a house on rent, once its payed off easy money for the rest of your life... until the days comes where a new toll roads means ur house being demolished....
    
    You could spend it on £3000 worth of petrol, keep it in storage and then sell it once the prices go up...

    get the dimma kit, it wont crack as easy as fibre glass kits, and its the best kit for the saxo. get 16inch rims and then give me the car. . . lol

    I seriously wouldnt blow £3000 on making the saxo look nicer, just do the smaller things to touch it up and work on the engine perhaps?
    
    Other than that save up more for something else later one?

    whatever you do dont spend it on crap, theirs 2 many shit saxo's around and they give saxo's a bad name. If your serious on spending that much on your car buy good quality mods.
