Depends if you can find the bits and whether you have the loom in the door plug. Should be in there as you have electric mirrors?

I've helped a mate do it, it was about a 3 hour job, doing 4 doors (2 on each car) you need a drill and a pop rivet gun, then the rest is simple.

i am doing mine at the mo, if your corsa is post 97 you will have to wire up a live feed to the motor and switch. i found to get the runners in place was the hardest part. still cant get it right.

SXi is an easy peasy job mate. you will need:
- Loom from a Sport with Windows/Mirrors/Locking.
Strip out the old looms and drill out the 4 rivits holding the old mechinism on. Pull the glass out.
With the door naked, put in the Sport Loom, and secure it. Take care to make sure you plug all the right bits around the door handle/centrino locking.
Before riveting the motors to the doors, plug it all in and test it works (Make sure you are doing the driver's door first as it's a master).
If it works fine get on and mount the motors using rivets (I nipped down to a bodyshop - cost me a tenner and less hassle/sore hands  ) Plug in and check. Put the glass back in
Do the same to the other door.
Turn on the ignition, check the windows go up and down correctly. (There's a runner with 2 10mm bolts that adjusts the window if it gets stuck! Quite fiddly and annoying, but it can be done correctly.
Not as hard as it sounds really. My car didn't have the looms, and I had to make some.
