Take off the "Citroen" and "Saxo" badges on the back and spray them black, that's a cheap mod until you got money.

Backbox's are easy to fit mate, only 2 bolts on the u-clamp. Get some exhaust putty too so that there's no leaks on the join.
For the calipers, when I painted mine I just left them on the car, didn't even bother to mask up the discs, just used a small paintbrush and took my time

Mask them up if you want but I didn't bother lol easy enough to do it with just a paintbrush
If you're worried about getting paint on the discs though then mask it up for peace of mind lol

It looks nice as it is! I would really save up and save up until you can afford to lower it first mate, it would make the biggest difference to looks and handling of the car. Then buy a backbox, its got a nice shiny tailpipe on it as standard!
Get it lowered 60mm all round (maybe a little more a the back) then take off all the stickers and colour code it all round. Leave the lights, front angels maybe but the standards look the best on a white saxo IMO.
As for wheels, what size are the fox ones? What are the tyres like? I might offer a swap with you if you want?
