Mods are slowly working in the right direction, though liked the white BSA's.
Good to see you're now working on getting the the thing straight (ie. dents removed, panels resprayed and sorted etc) before carrying on with mods.
Oh, and be more careful!! 2 crashes in a year - no wonder insurance premiums are so high! Hope you declare your mods too
Edited as you edited in the time I replied

Then stop being stupid. Sorry to be a bore, but ffs 2 crashes in less than a year, numerous mods that aren't declared. Can't see why people do this

Accidents yeh fair enough haven't involved other cars, but from the descriptions you aren't the most careful driver...
Wasn't looking and drove into your own car & slipped on to the accelerator = its' only a matter of time till it's someone elses car.
And yes, alloys, backbox, decat, springs, induction kit - modified in insurance eyes all day long.

Aside from the grumpy old man thing, car's heading in the right direction
If you still have the BSA's somewhere I'd try to get them on again with lower profile tyres as that was the best look

I would get rid of gold vauxhall sticker, corsa badge under plate, paint the drums, but apart from that it's looking ok I don't understand why you have drilled holes in the plate recess? it's not like you're trying to save weight anywhere else so it's pointless really.
