I was wandering could i change the calipers for larger ones either off another corsa (1.8 sri) or from a new Astra?

Expect to say bye bye to your warranty if you change the brakes, this is a serious thing to change, and isn't easy to change back quickly.

Dont get me started on the brakes, Discs warped, pads faded, bloody sqeeling when i break!!!
Rattleing from doors and dash.
Electronic control box failed (most of electrics failed to work)
Gear box - can be difficult to select 2nd and reverse crunches!!
gotta love those corsas.

Also if you have a crash due to brakes failing, or anything like that, after you've up-rated your brakes vauxhall will wash their hands of you, which isn't a good thing.

if you have a crash you claim off your insurance.

Yes, but if your brakes failed on the car from the factory vauxhall would take responsibilty that the brakes may have been faulty, and maybe re-inburst you, but if you change your brakes then they wont
