The order of doing the mods would depend on your finances and building skills. The boat tail produced the single biggest mileage improvement, followed by under panelling, wheel well skirts, nosepiece with adjustable grill block, double side skirts, internal side mirrors, internal antenna, gap sealing. Difficulty of construction from easiest to hardest is: gap sealing, internal antena, double side skirts, internal side mirrors, rear wheel well skirts, front wheel well skirts, nose piece, under panelling, boattail.

Don't know enough about your car to have an opinion about lugging with those tires, but it shouldn't be a problem on flat roads, you just might just have to drop into 4th a little sooner than usual when starting up a hill..
