By adding a backbox or a suspension kit on a new corsa C would this invalidate the WHOLE 3 year warrenty? or just the 3 year warrenty on section you have upgraded?

If you get a backbox will it invalidate the engine warrenty for example?

Depends on the mood of the dealer really! Usually they will try and invalidate the whole lot, because the car is no longer standard, and if you've been fiddling with one part, how do they know you haven't been playing about with the rest of the car??
But, you do get some nice dealers out there who will turn a blind eye to such goings on. If in doubt, phone them, then you can judge your position.

I spoke to the sales manager at my dealer and he said if i lowered the car vauxhall were well within their right to void the warranty on the suspension only.

so the rest of the car would be fine.

On my car, I had put alloys on, lowered it, changed lights fitted an induction kit plus a frw other bits and they still did work on it under the warrenty!
Not bad for service for a vauxhall dealer

MY Dealer don't really give a shit about little mods e.g. exhaust, wheels, stereo etc.
