Oh ffs 
This is getting silly, and yes CorsaSport has a shite reputation on CC|UK for the amount of wankers on here who have an opinion that only spread as far as a GSi kitted Corsa B with a XE and Speedlines or Softstars.
Again, this is a reason why you don't see many Corsa C's on the Corsasport stand @ PVS, Trax etc.
Also Fad, ok fair enough I could understand being moaned @ if I had made silly changes to the car and made it look shite, but what have I done to it that causes all the negative comments from lots of members ALL THE TIME?!
And it doesn't look the same everytime I post  If it does, why have a few people even nominated it as a candidate for CS feature car this month?

Really like this car Rich and I think your doing a great job of making it subtle but different.
I can appreciate this car far more now that I have a C myself I think and if I do mod it then I would like it to be as nice as this

Looking good Rich!
How strict are Vauxhall with the mods thing 
Mine's gonna be going back to them one day I think, and I'm sure they want it back standard, but does it HAVE to be? Wouldn't mind an SRi brake upgrade on my SXi too...

Thanks for the positive comments guys - appreciated
Will try and answer a few of the points raised in above comments now!! :
Planty02 - Thanks mate! Didn't know you'd got a C these days?! What you got?
Bez -They're pretty strict when the cars within warranty period. General rule is whatever you mod or replace becomes invalid on warranty. I'm hoping by using SRi brake upgrade, they will be too thick to notice if I use GM parts  However, even when it went in for its 1st service a couple of months back (minus springs and alloys) I got a bit of a lecture for what I'd done, and also got told my plate would be an MOT failure! Oh well, got another year to worry about that!!
Phil & James - Thanks guys

It's not so much the warranty thing that worries me really. I've assumed you've bought yours on a HP agreement but obviously could be wrong? That's what mine is on, and I very much doubt I'll be buying the car off them at the end of the 3 years, therefore, they'll be 'buying it back' from me. Question is, could they refuse to buy it back, and make me put it back to standard trim before they'll have it back?? I don't know how strict they are with this?
For example... if I paint my brake calipers a different colour, what could they say?

Only picked the C up about 2 1/2 weeks ago (and yet its been broken into already  )
Got a 03 Plate Black SXI - 1.2 i6v - only mod is the 17's it came with and I intend to keep it that way fro a while
The B failed its MOT so I wanted to get rid before it got to the point where i hated it. At least this way I can look back at it and smile

Nope its mine all mine! So not sure in that respect! Warranty is my only restraining issue! (And the lack of money )

SRi wheels are a bit of a pig to find. Mine need a refurb unfortunately as previous owner liked to get friendly with kerbs sometimes
Including wheels, 4 new tyres, fitting of tyres, balancing etc I've ended up forking out £470  A bit over the odds

What do you mean like? General styling or just wheels? I've always liked SRi, Exclusiv or the optional extra (very rare) 17's you can get, but all are pretty dam expensive!!
Oh, old SXi rims are for sale btw - Check out my Sig for link
Thanks for the comments guys
