Ermmm, when I fitted my new stereo I took the cage out.
Tage the existing cage out, put the new one in, bend any tabs etc to stop it pulling forward/moving around. Pull the cables through, attached them to your new head unit. Put the head unit in. It may drop slightly, mine did, and sits fine. You can attach it with a screw at the back but means your whole dash needs taking out. I didn't do this, which means my CD player moves ever so slightly therefore doesn't jump when going over bumps.
That's the general order of things but I'm no expert (although could fit my headunit no problem)! Try searching the Tutorials & FAQ!
Oh, if you have a Corsa C you'll need a facia adapter to change it from 2 din to 1 din (1 din is the size of a standard headunit!)

If your Corsa has the original headunit, the cage goes all the way to the back (unlike short ones your normally get with aftermarket headunits) and the aerial is in the back of it - if I remember correctly it has black foam padding/insulation around it.
