Locost47 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
If you're on a tight budget, normally it's best to have someone look at the car first and offer suggestions. You then build/fabricate whatever bits are required and preferably fit them before the test. It's almost always quicker to take stuff off than put it on so it's better to fit everything to the car before you go then systematically take them off, although you can still add things if the results point in a particular direction.

You can get a long way with cardboard, styrofoam and lots and lots of tank tape!

The downside of this approach is that people often see the best results at the start of the test (when all the trick bits are on the car) and then things appear to get worse through the course of the day. By the time they leave they see the worst numbers and go away thinking the whole thing was a waste of time. I know it sounds illogical but it does happen.
