Unless you're gonna get an enclosed kit like a viper then i wouldn't bother, but £250 isn't worth it IMO.
Drill your standard box if you want it to make a noise

Drilling the airbox will lose power

not noticed any loss in power on my car with the airbox drilled.
used to have a K&N 57i on it and it ran like a bag of shit. was pinking and it felt really rough to drive and it started using oil.

I dont think owners of 1.2 or 1.4 Corsa's are really that bothered about minimal losses of bhp - its hardly a performance vehicle in the first place and drilling holes simply provides a nicer sound.
Anyway, why would it lose power after drilling holes?

Because it's a sealed box and by drilling it you're loosing power theoretically, but in the real world what you gain from the wholes cancels out any loss but just sounds nicer!

Care to elaborate on why drilling a sealed box loses power? 
Also what do you mean by in a real world
