TBH Mark they aren't gonna get a £2000 car with mods that is mint! Your G40 is a good shout to show people it's not all about saxo's and fiesta st's old skool is   too.

Maybe max power could do it themselves?  
 
Buy a cheap tidy corsa and mod it slightly with a 2K budget? Could make a good feature I guess, showing the progression, timeline, etc...?

I know it doesn't look much from standard but my old corsa cost me just under £2000 including the car.

To make a huge difference with £2000. 
 
Drive into halfords.  It'll look very different for £2k... 
 
Getting a set of wheels, a bodykit, it sprayed, the suspension, lights (F+R) etc, will come to more than £2k alone.  It can be done, but not new parts, would have to be 2nd hand items. 
 
I've got it...  How to mod a Corsa with £2k.... 
 
1 trip to LMStyling with your Corsa. 
x1 2.0 16v engine. 
x2 2.0 16v calipers 
x1 Bilstien Yellow suspension 
 
It'll look no different, but go much better.

OK, so have a 2.0 16v Corsa, with no brake or suspension upgrades, and live life very much on the edge

got to include the car. 
 
personally, lower it (springs off ebay, do it yourself,) 
wheels  
de-wiper,  
some skirts 
de-badge grill 
de-wipered, 
cheap backbox 
gsi spoiler 
 
stuff like that can all be done for cheap, finding bargains and can lead to a nice looking corsa.
