How much would you be looking at spending to buy Corsa C facelift bumpers, headlights and SRi wheels, assuming everything is painted the right colour?
Probably more than if you bought a facelift to begin with, but thought I'd ask anyway

Yeh bits aren't cheap.
Wheels I found a pretty good set for £30 with knakered tyres, sold them for £350 with good tyres.
Lights I already had but got a 2nd set to smoke and they cost me around £150 iirc
Bumpers go quite cheap but will need to be fixed up (ie sprayed etc) and spraying will cost around £150 - £180, so you're probably talking approx £220.
Then you of course need an Irmy grille which is £120 ish and SRi lower grilles which are £35 ish and god knows how much fog lights are lol.

Know your bargins! My Corsa C is pre facelift and I've bought all facelift parts, according to my spreadsheet:
Front bumper - £30 from ebay, it was also brand new in primer and in a box 
Back bumper - £20 from ebay
Facelift lights £80 from Stavs
Sri mirrors were 150 from ebay
.
Irmscher roof spoiler - 85 from ebay
Irmscher grill - 128.95 from LMF
Then I had to get them painted

Oops, forgot about this thread 
Cheers guys, it'd probably be cheaper to buy a facelift car than to do a DIY facelift then. Just need to wait for the right one to come along.
I casually mentioned the possibility of getting a 1.8 SRi or 1.8'ing mine and got nothing but winging, moaning and grief from the folks. They are convinced that if I did it it would go wrong all the time and need fixing constantly, because their mk1 Mini's they had 30 years ago that were standard used to break a lot. Yeah, totally comparable situations
