You can start with smaller, fully removable mods like a grille block and rear wheel skirts, then go all out on the boattail when the car is paid for. What size tires do you have? My Grandma's Corsa came standard with something like 155/70R13 LowCO2 tires. Finding LowRR tires for that car shouldn't be hard.

I'm going to look into that underbody tray though and the mirrors are HUGE but I dont think removing them is an option in the uk.
You don't have to remove the passenger side mirror, just keep it folded shut. To be safe you may want to look into local motor laws, but I think they are more or less the same anywhere in the EU. Here a pass side mirror is required only when you can't use the internal mirror. Driver's side, of course, is mandatory, but after paying the car off you might want to think about replacing it with something smaller.
