Just a little question, would you rather go for being practical or not?
I mean would you rather keep your boot space etc for putting things in like it's meant to, shopping, or luggage if you went on a road trip with your mates or something, or would you rather fit a nice install in the boot instead?
Other things like lowering, would you go for so low you can't manage speed bumps, or just low enough to handle them?
anything else you can think of?

can always use back seats and footwells for stuff
i dont even have a boot build but with having my battery relocated to boot and rediculous spare wheel well design i cant fit much in there anyway so always go for back seat of passenger well

I would never have my car so low that it scraped off the road every time a bump appeared, that would really piss me off  And im not carefull or patient enough to tolerate it 
However boot space can be sacrificed, shopping is done by my mum

as for lowering so low is good but will cost you money in repairing damaged bumpers and unless you spend decent money on the kit the ride, speaking from a 60mm and some drop experience, isnt all that nice and will prob do more damage than good

What if you and some mates decided you wanted to go on a holiday/roadtrip kinda thing though, and you need luggage, where you gonna put it?
Don't get me wrong, I think some boot builds/installs look great, but the practicality of them gets me...
If I was gonna put one in a car I would probably try something like these...

(I know there not corsa's)
Something like that would be hard to do on a Corsa though, but it would be semi practical because you could finish it all off so it looks good, the cover it all off with some thick clear perspex, then you could put some stuff on top of it if needed...
