in the beginning, shortly after i bought the car off my gf's cousin! £1600 and its only done 34k 
basically had peco backbox, lexus lights and 15" alloys n thats it - rest of it standard!
first stage was debadgin the boot, nt a fan of boastin that my corsa is a 1.0
i then typically went for the gsi/sxi spoiler which i got at a good price from a local scrappies...attempted to spray it myself and fluffed it so got it sprayed professionally and then fitted it myself - at least i done a good job fitting it also got the new plates on and took off the club badges on the side! n also a k&n induction kit n got the centre section chopped...vroom!
im only a student so keepin the mods down to a real low budget, once i finish my course im gona be throwing a good bit more money towards it...currently waiting on arrival of a badgeless grill so will post up some more pics once thats done...

Like the colour, As said change the rears back to standard as they will go better with the colours, get some corsa c side repeaters and then remove the rub strips.

A 12v club and the 1.0 badge on the back instead of 12v, that is rare.
I've just got some smoked sides for my 12v but haven't fitted them yet but here is the link were I got mine from:
eBay smoked side repeaters
Looking good by the way! I'd love to get hold of a GSi spoiler but my car is Flame Red so colour matching will be an arse and I have lack of funds.

IF you decide to keep the lexus lights, clear smoked sides would look good along with your alloys and standard front lights.
I'd recommend putting your standard lights back on then getting smoked sides, especially with your car being a dark colour - make sure the Vauxhall Corsa C ones come with an amber bulb

Will be interesting, don't see many around that colour. May be do a photoshop first to make sure you're happy with the outcome!
