If you once had a pritty basic corsa, which steps did you take in upgrading it, or what steps would you take? Did you go for the dear stuff at the start or little parts then dear ones. Interior or exterior first ? I'm just open to opinions and prices 
It's a 1.2 3d, with alloys, about it.

A good set of lowering springs and a nice backbox would be the first thing on my list, then if you plan to mod it more id suggest a cat1 alarm

when i got my car it had alloys on. First thing that i bought was a back box and drilled and induction kit. Then u will need to go an buy a haynes manual so that u dont piss people on here off by asking question that have already been asked too many times before. This tells u how 2's for all ur interior bit like gear knob, hand brake etc. all that stuff is quite cheap then u could colour code your interior. I got the standard kit coulour coded for £200 whic looks alot better. Buckets bout £300 cd player sub and amp £600. up to u wot u wana do 1st.

Square said it.
I've had my corsa for what, 4 odd years now.
http://daimob.fotki.com/d4mo_b/
It started off actaully on here. I wanted to modify it, but not majorly (DOHH). Started off with 15"s, rear can, then i lowered it, tarted all my engine bay up, changed my seats, then got new wheels and the exhaust system i always wanted.
Then i got into my boom box  twin 15"s, yesh please.
Then i grew up a bit more, and started to loose my hearing (not really, but could of), and had a few problems with the car which made me think, fuck it.
Off it went to the bodyshop. I've had SO many different plans for her you wouldn' believe, wanted the Lexmaul bumper, then the Carzone front end, then the whole BAT kit, but i ALWAYS wants an airdamn and stieny skirts. So in the end i went for it. Thats 3 years planning on how i wanted the car.
Then i got it back, and Donna perswaded me to get a 2.0 16v, i folded, and ended up having that done, as well as another mod i always wanted, rear discs.
4 years later, a lot of money, a lot of my own time, and its still not finished, but is getting there.
My advice, Corsa B kits arn't really being made apart from the stuff already out. I'd look at all the kits and decide how you want to go. Big, mad, custom 1 off (££££££££), or plain, tried and tested kits and simple wheels etc. Or go go a bit more Euro style (mmmmm, becoming more popular).
Always research and take time to decide what you want to get. Thinking will save you SO much money.

cheers so far, Daimo B nice essay thats helped quite a bit, didnt really think of planning much was just gona go and hope it looked good lol :S
I'm not too sure how long im going to keep it tho, i either keep this for 4 years like Daimo B and do it up gradually. Or i do this car partially say for a year. Then maybe get a newer corsa and do that up.
