If the mounting points for them in my saxo where there and not rusted I would have used them or you get all sorts of shit everywhere and leads to rust. Thats if you will drive it in wet weather or on shitted up gritted roads, if its summer or track only I wouldnt be as bothered.

Got them in the front, but not in the back as they buzz on the 60 profile semi's.

I've got my fronts, but rears missing.. Keep meaning to replace, just to stop rust really, not much left of front 1s as wheels catch it constantly.

To add to mine aswell saying i have them all in my rears are held in with m5 bolts as the 50 profiles and being 60ish on the rear meant they scrub its not bad at all though mostly on the rear bumper but i cut the bumper bracket dlwn so im not slicing the tyre up

Makes maintenance and cleaning of a regularly prepared car so much nicer

I'd always run them on the front - seen some pretty horrific saxos with big holes in arches due to not running inner arches .
I suppose rear arches isn't too bad, but I still would

I didn't run them for 6 years whilst I had 17"'s on. Biggest mistake I made

Ive decided to run them, arches look too exposed otherwise. Word of warning though dont buy the Citroen arch liner clips from ebay that cover the saxo/xsara etc, they are too big and need cutting down with a knife!
