   yeah dont think its worth the kit save for a VTR defo!!!
   
   change the headlights and the bulbs get some xeon white ones!
   
   get some nice mats lol
   
   and depending how u feel about neons, put them in the footwells, change the inside light when u open the door, change that to a blue or red!
   
   custom bonnets are excellent and maybe lower the car!
   
   hope that helps

   Attacking them with an angle grinder. What size wheels are they?
   
   Personally i'd smoke your headlights that the cheapest and one of the most effectice tihngs to do especially on a silver saxo to match your smoked rears that your waiting on

    Outside - alloys, lower, dewiper at the rear, color code.
    
    Inside - Steering wheel, bucket seats, and upgrade your sound system with a set of comp's amped up front and a sub in the boot.

    you wheels shoulld be fine under standard arches mate, will need either rolling or grinding the lip off though.
