   No idea how it is wired up, but just wire it to the rear wiper switch as you mentioned. That kit on ebay looks ok to me. You will also need to consider number plate relocation. A recess in the bumper would be the best but most expensive option.

   good point,
   
   just buy a popper off ebay then, you will have to weld it in place which is the only draw back

    Smooth boot doesnt look great on a saxo as you have to move the number plate.
