You need to remove the bearing from the stock corsa front top mount spring retainer and fit it into that top mount.

Hmm, i helped my mate fit a set to his C last weekend, his came built up with that part on as the top mounting.
And then bolted it up using the original part that holds it in.

That doesnt look right, is that not the bit that goes on to hold the strut in place.

Guess i remove the black bit (which looks like the top mount from under the bonnet) and put on the shiny bit as you said, then the gold nut and washer hold it in place, then slots through, and black nut holds on under bonnet side of top mount???
