When your window winders come off in your hand because you snapped the clip. Twice.

I had to put mine into second before it'd go into first, let alone reverse

I put a new clip on it about a week ago and today all i get is crunching into reverse and have to get the worlds strongest man to change gears

the standard corsa horn is the gayest horn ever, go to a scrap yard and get one from a cav or vectra they are much better.

They are the worst clips ever. Annoying to get on in the first place then they end up coming loose and the winder falls off

And when the petrol light comes on, just brake and the needle goes back up lol

-When you understeer.... badly!
-You have cracked B pillars.
-Squaking doors.
-Only thing you care about is top speed and taking a bend on a motor way at 100 is considered good handling.
-Can not access the front bumper screws and have to ripp off your arches and can't get them back on so you need to tiger seal them which looks gay.
-You have rust around the rear wiper hole

Press it and hold it in iirc, the wee red LED under the hazard switch will start flashing - I think it turns off the interior sensors for if it had an alarm in case you leave pets/ kidnapped children in the car

when your mate hacks a fast roundabout and your seat belt pops undone

when your door clicks 3 times when you open it.

when its sooo low you bash your head on either the bonnet or the tail gate.

and of course the exhaust on rear beam...
