Tried a few places for a Corsa front end, Couldnt get one.
Phoned the Breakers least likely to have one which is 2 minutes away and they had 2 
Went up and it was an Exclusive with rear end damage and the other was a SXI Plus 
Picked up:
- 2 front wings
- Bonnet
- 2 facelift headlights with protectors
- Bumper with foglights
- Slam Panel
- Corsa C Smoked rear lights
All for £170 
And the best bit!!!
Full Exclusiv leather from a Corsa C with heated fronts.....................£80 cos he didnt know they were leather 
My brother bought another Corsa with front end damage to fix and sell on so everything bar the leather is going in it and the leather is being sold on!
Not bad for an hours work!

We've got about 5 breakers within 2 miles of us so theres always something.
Always fun walking round having a look.

I think the nearest one from me is about 10 miles away, otherwise I'd go up there for a wander

I done that once with a bumper, Just chucked it over the wall and walked out cos he wanted silly money for it.
Went back later that night clambering through tree's to find a river and the bumper had floated away.
Think he's sold the full leather to a boy from down the road for £200
