Old skool would be whats in fashion right now...
THis is a 2001 picture...
Old skool really isn't old skool. Its just there wasn't anything about to put on the cars other than expensive stieny and irmscher bits.. So people made do finding other ways to make the cars individual.
Different wheels, custom skirts etc. Bear in mind the first Lexus Light only made it onto Corsas in Sept 01 at Trax...

You'll want pre-97 bumpers, black, some 14" wheels from an astra gte or something, nice and low, single round exhaust, that's about it
 And that is what I want to do to mine

I think its entirely possible.
Black B1 bumpers and lower it. Wheel choice is a bit critical though. Age wise Astra GTE / Cav GSi is the obvious choice apart from the popularity of the Cav ones currently, many people already doing that.
Perhaps Nova Luxe+ style of spokey thing might work if its low enough. Think the same wheel also made it on to Astra and Cav but I'm not sure of model.
Even Cav Diplomat style in the 4 stud and Cesaro, been done lots and looks well.
You might need to go aftermarket. Just nothing too daft like wires or anything like that. Seen that done and the Corsa didn't pull it off like a Golf would.

Here's mine old one - genuine old school styling from 95/96
Black bumpers, low as I could get it and spokey wheels, coilovers and custom springs were not invented then

Oldschool would be based on oldschool wheels for a start, i'd say venoms, hocks, mim raffino's if they could be found,
Novaload has a good oldschool nova post maybe we should start 1...

After reading this thread I'm still not a beliver a corsa can be made to look old school.
Yeah you can bolt loads of "old" parts from many years ago on but, if anything its just an out of date corsa.
Nova, Mk1 Golf etc when old school look
