You should have the wires already behind the blacked off plug, just just need the cigarette adapter. I got mine from a scrappy, was easiest to just remove the whole flip down drawer

can be taped to the main dash loom so may be hidden, was corsa is it? did it come with a mfd or a mat in its place? as the odd base spec might not have the wires

Could always wire it to the ignition live on the stereo?
That way if u leave something plugged in by accident it wont drain the battery either then just earth it somewhere.
That should work?

Well, found the thread. But I must've deleted the pics 
http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=486493
I put one in the gf's 1.2 8v spin - so I reckon all cars would have them. In hers, I took the ash tray out (poss rad too) and there is a load of taped wires somewhere. In there I think it was the brown and white wires. They should be there somewhere though!

if u take the ash tray off, x4 posy screws should be a loom up and in the dash running along the back normally the wiring are taped into that, if not wire it into stereo wiring, the ignition live and the earth, that is fused aswell

i didnt have to go as far as remove the dash.
been a long time since i was in a Corsa but the drop down ash tray came out with four screws i seem to remember and behind it, possibly taped up i saw the wires i mentioned
routed them through the hole in the ash tray and was off and running!
