I like your car 
If it was mine i'd buy a set of plain stick on plates next to get rid of the blue.

are your sure about the plates? getting rid of the irmscher badge 
it has crossed my mind about getting the wheels done darker but i love the silver wheels up against the green,they look more modern & fresh imo.
these wheels will be going on my 1.8 sri next year when i get it and will be done anthracite then

Wouldnt look as bad if they were the same colour as the car, but the blue really stands out against the green.
"Blue & Green Should not be seen"
Wheels dont have to go as dark as anthracite, just a bit of a darker silver?

you need to remove the side strips imo, get the arches and skirts done gloss black, ring mark he will do them for you.

cheers mate 
i know mate id love to fit the splitter and airdam but will cost too much to get it the way id want it & its really hard trying to save up for a new car and keep spending a money on her at the same time so something has got to give.
i had the chance of a 2004 1.8 sri today for £3500 but couldnt face having to sell her yet and tbh im gonna find it really hard to let her go when the time comes.
she maybe a slow 1.2 8v with no gadgets like central locking,electric windows,air con,traction control but looks 1000 times better than any other B around my area.
last week when i was getting out my car to go to the gym a old man about 70 - 80 year old walked all the way from the other side of the car park to admire my car & its colour saying hes never seen a corsa in that colour ever which really put a smile on my face and made me feel really good and its also nice to see that older people take notice of ya car and appreciate it

i went up looking for the bodyshop mate up around burnopfield way but couldnt fint it.
is it opposite any shops or anything?
i think gloss black might look tacky but would look good rubbed down smooth painted satin black.
i also would like the boot debadged but not sure if the colour will be slighly different and the same goes for the rub strips.

nice car, I agree plain plates will look cleaner and tidier!
I'd also take the badges off the doors, other than that looks bloody spot on!

thanks for the comments peeps for those that actually bothered to reply.
sas mate its lowered -50mm all around at the moment on springs & shocks.
may get some plain plates made up with the sam style font but with the irmscher writing in black with no blue background and no text on the bottom of the plates the only thing is that there gonna cost £37
