I agree with mav, if everyone had a gsi kit with speedlines... we couldnt really be called corsasport, it would be corsagsiwithspeedlinessport.co.uk lmao
but anyway back to topic.. front bumper isnt too bad, the skirts are alright providing you have the right wheels, but the rear bumper is awful unless the numberplate is fitted in the bottom hole with the exhaust on either side hole. (ovals)

jamesw has proved that big jap style kits can work on the corsa so it may look alrite if u do it right 
dont just buy the kit and fit it, think about customising things and makin ur car stand out rom the rest, if u dont have the money to do this and are on a tight budget (not sayin that u are), wait till u get money and kit a car up properly rather than jst sticking tat on it.
but yes, it could look right if enough thought is put into it

if you get the kit mate i stronly advise not to get the skirts, ive learnt the hardware and to put it brief they are utter gash, they are twisted to tell so will never fit correctly and they are also different sizes on each side. To be honest i dont even think they go with the front bumper, skirts with more depth would look miles better. Mine are coming off as soon as my engine transplant is done and ive got some psg2 wide ones

I do agree with the fibreglass bodykits are crap... to an extent.. LoL, I think they can be made to look good im some instances, I also think that if you are to be going for super performance then they are pants and a waste of time, if this is the case then gsi and speedlines would be better
But some of the fibreglass stuff is okay as long as its done right and fits with the car or has been modified to fit better with the car.
I'm a big fan of both looks, subtle and low and quick, and balls out custom mental,

you would have to get a square plate on the side of the bumper some how,
or make a recess in the top bar to house a std size plate

ive been thinking either the square one, of a cut down one right at bottom of the bumper, or like you said adhesive one on the top of the bumper

do what you want mate, not a fan myself but just make sure its not going to be barry boy's material. Sounds like you've got some good plans, going to be a fair hole in your pocket though!!
