Be overambitious fixing side gate (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

get ideas

'be overambitious' is the definition.

'fixing side gate' is the wordplay.
'fixing' indicates an anagram.
'side'+'gate'='sidegate'
'sidegate' with letters rearranged gives 'GET IDEAS'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
