I paid a grand for the car, another £1,100 for the respray, £700 for the wheels, £200 for the lights & about £500on the other bits n peices. All in all car cost me a total of around £3,500 which aint bad for a standard v reg 1.4 sport, let alone one that looks as nice as mine does

id say after buying car in july 2000 ive spent 5k buyinit and then easy 5-6k on it but ive sald old bits etc so hard to keep track
like wayne said id never do it again not on car like corsa, like what robmarriot just put soon to be spending another 4k i mean jesus man sell it and buy a proper car if thats ur intentions i really dont think ppl have experienced a well handling car if we are prepared to spend this kind if money on top of what we have already spent,
i mean rob have u ever bin in 4k scooby/rx7/itr/ they are far superior to ur corsa whether u spend 4k or 20k and that goes for all of us too...

Too much and on a slow car
If I was to do it again I would wait until I was old enough to insure a decent car and then just to subtle exterior mods and more performance mods.
Throwing you money at a slow car is just a waste IMO as you never get even half of it back in the end...wish I'd figured that out before I started
