NO-that's what the solenoids are for-so u can still open the door! If they weren't there then it'd be an instant fail, plus u would never be able to get into ur car......

dont know, doubt it tho as the selonoids are buttons that act as door handles really, plus cars like tvr's have them standard

also the door handles have to stay on but you can use some veccy ones or ones from the rear doors of a 5rd corsa color code them and stick them on

What happens if your battery goes flat? How do you unlock and open your car?
Even if its just delocked how would you unlock it? If your battery was flat?

first off i can see why they charge 500, its one of the hardest things to do and takes fooking ages i know!
the 2 wire trick wont work - it means having a LIVE wire dangeling in your engine bay and is very dangerouse indeed
the solinoids will only pass if both front doors can open manually from the outside
also dont buy cheap crap - get the best ones available or else ull regret it when they fail on u
and if u get it done off the alarm, most of them shut down auxilary circuits when the ignition is on for safty reasons, so u cant pop door whilst driving, so always take your keys out when u get out the car
and lastly - never leave your mate sat in your car 20 miles away from home at 3am cos he will lock u out and u have to get the AA out to break in

To be honest, although it looks good, i've not spoken to a Corsa Owner yet who has these mods that hasn't had really big problems with them.
Look good, but totally impractical. Should be left to the TVR's this one
