Not keen on the corsa sticker in the back window, but apart from that, looking good 
Maybe make off the SXI badge too?

Not bad. Love black v-grilss on C's.
Not keen on the decal, but like others have said, all in personal taste etc.
Get rid of the SXi badhes imho. Spraying them black would look different, but it's hassle taking them off, cleaning the area where they were, then resticking them.

if the decal was in black so it was subtle and blended with everything else it wouldnt be so bad, maybe spray the rear vauxhall badge black as well?

buy some sticky back foam, make sure you clean the old stuff off properly. don't skimp though, make sure ya buy the good stuff. else it'll fall off.
I used numberplate stickers for mine. they're nice and thin so don't make it stick out stupid.

halfords do it, as do motormania. Make sure you buy the thin stuff though. but im not sure if they do it in sheets, so you make need 2 do a bit of d.i.y and make sure the whole badge is covered.
as I said the thinner the better, else they soak up water and get wet.
