i've bought another corsa now and i want to sort of just mod it a bit, its only gonna be the daily driver.
was wondering what the different bumpers there are for the B..
also what wheels would be nice for it? cav slabs or what?
not going to too much expense on it.
cheers for any help.

Yes, Corsa B's were facelifted in 1997, they got better interiors and the bumpers were changed among other small bits. Also they changed the engine range to 4 valves per cylinder, although I think they did 1.4 8v for a short while. I could be wrong though.
This is the post 97 front bumper:
This is a pre 97 bumper:
Any Vauxhall wheels that will look good on a Corsa will set you back a fair wad, because people now know that they look good so they're in high demand, e.g. Cesaro's, Cav fanblades, Cav GSi's.
I just found this, a pic of pre-facelift and facelift next to each other:

No probs mate
Morettes are around £300+, Depo's £100+ usually.
Most people lower by about 60mm, this is mine 60mm down:

its your car bud, you do whatever the hell you want! 
thats the whole idea of modding, you get the car done to reflect your likes and your own style. not to look like everyone else...
