Ok got my new car already, its been exactly a week since I sold my red one....god I dont hang about    
 
Its a completly standard 1.6 16V Sport in Arden blue. 
 
Its done 50,000 miles. 
 
Got all the usual 1.6 sport features -  
 
.Elec windows  
.Elec / Heated Mirrors  
.Air con  
.ABS  
 
Doesnt have a sun roof but I still like it    
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Didnt hang about either, when I got it back took it to mates house and we fitted my old -50mm spax springs to get rid of the standard look (sort of :lol  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
After -

The sills are designed to be used as a jacking point for a Vauxhall Corsa jack, not a trolley jack. The trolley jack will eventually bend the sills damaging them. There are many other places at both front and rear to jack up a the car and will not damage the structure of the car.

Ive always used sills too    
 
Where else is there? Can you use the jack on the bit just a bit further in from the sill think its the actual chassis?
