Sorry but 204bhp and a simular torque figure through a Corsa is gonna cause stress at some point.

Look at how easy the B-pillars crack.

Better to be safe than sorry, would be a good idea to have the front end seam welded, the spot welding that Vuaxhall used to manufactur the car is a but shopping cart like...
