First of all, everything is a direct fit apart from the rear arches that need a little bit of reworking.
Nothing you can do about the pedals. You get used to them trust me

The pedals dont bother me one little bit & iam a size 12 in trainers & size 11 in boots  , but i cant drive in boots.
To put the vt* kit on a standard saxo, you need hell of alot of tiger seal to bond the kit onto the side of the car & as scott has pointed out, you need to cut the rear arches, but it isnt that big a job, just get an angle grinder on them.

refering back to the kit wanting to be fitted... why dont u put a different bodykit on? Not that I have anything against anyone who has put a VT kit on a on VT saxo and yea it will look good but its NOT a VTR/VTS (unless futher engine mods will be done?) There are loads of kits out there why dont ya browse about? Its like putting a Ferrari Kit on an MR2 looks good but its just not right?? (Thats just my opinion before anyone has a go!!!)

You can get a carzone kit for the saxo, which i think consists of front bumper, rear bumper, all four arches & both side skirts.
It costs around the £700 mark & in my honest opinion looks horid, but it will be hell of alot easier fitting it then a full standard vt* kit.
I'd just say get the full vt* kit & fit it.
