Take no shit from them, ask for a courtesy car [as said above], and complain saying you really need it for Uni,
(i bet its just sitting in the back waiting to be valeted etc)

All well and good saying things like 'take no shit from them' but in reality they will just see a young lad whinging that he hasnt had his corsa delivered on time and is having a hissy fit. You are far better off approaching the matter open to their suggestions and accepting that the car is taking a little longer than expected (trust me, they will want the car out asap so they can get on with more sales and renewing stock)
Ask them for their suggestions, if they dont suggest a courtesy car then ask if you can have one, you will find that your contract will have a clause in for such a situation that says that they cannot be held to any exact delivery dates, if you cause a big fuss and approach them with hostility then they will reflect that.

Are they taking the Corsa as part exchange? If not, how do they know you haven't sold it etc?!
Also, try and blag an Irmy grill or something for the inconvenience

the standard grille is part of the bumper so it needs to be cut out and trimmed, If I remember correctly there is little room for a mistake so it needs to be perfect first time.

at the end of the day, its not the dealers fault it won't be delivered in time.
it's just a problem at the factory or something, so all they can do is give you something in compensation for the delay if they want to, THEY DON'T HAVE TO!
