Depends if your insurance allows mods? 5 doors can look ace, look at Danny's silver one, or stu c or the blue one (forgot his name, yellow wheels). Simple things like clear repeats, 40/60mm lower, maybe some VX alloys and a nice exhaust

Get her slammed, Clear Indicators, Alloys, Cherry bomb exhaust and a straight through. De badge and Rub strip, Colour code and get some depos on her. and you will be onto a winner mate

Cherry Bomb and straight through? that would sound awful like a wet fart.

Personally I would just lower it on a nice set of Vauxhall Rims, and go from there really.

Welcome chap

If you're with a "normal" insurance company then chances are they'll bend you over if you do anything to the car.

I think sebbyg has a 5 door which is quite nice, the blue one with yellow wheels referred to earlier is FAZ's

polish the engine head if you want but don't bother doing anything else as you'll only regret it further down the line.

Looks really smart that fella, nothing wrong with 5drs! Loved mine! I'd just stick a set of vauxhall alloys on it, debadge, some clear side repeaters and be done with it personally but it depends how far you want to go. As has been said there are some really nice modded 5dr's out there!
Also am I going mad or is that an air con pipe running across the front of the engine?

As said abouve! Dont bother with the engine apart from maybe drilling your air box!

Only do mods to the car that can be transfered to quicker corsa when ur older!

My first corsa was exactly like yours mate, V reg too. Very tidy car. My opinion would be subtle mods, nothing ott. Nice set of alloys, depos, lower it a bit, new grille and you're good to go imo!

When I cleaned mine up it had black dots on it like that, anyone know what they are?

I assumed it was proper stuck on dirt or something.
