Central locking is quite easy to fit (if i can fit it... anyone can) here's an ebay link... £12 + 11 postage...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Universal-Remote-Keyless-Central-Locking-Kit-2008_W0QQitemZ230192540676QQihZ013QQcategoryZ75329QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
I Installed this exact kit and it works fine in my car and has done since I bought it.
You need to be good at hiding wires though  there's a few of them! But for £15 + the hassle of fitting it it still works out as a bargain.

Nah it doesn't unlock the boot as far as i know.
I heard that somebody on one of the corsa boards somewhere had managed to fit one of the rear motors to the boot lock and get it to work but I couldnt for the life of me work out where the wires would go and how id do it, so I left it.

And iv just realised theres £11 postage on the locking kit so it probably works out at like £25... but Id pay double that to not have to reach over to unlock the passenger door

Don't fit an alarm yourself, if you get it fitted by an actuall qualified guy you get money off your insurance for having a "......something" fitted alarm

Ive done all of them on my 1.2 8v, except the windows, as I dont have the loom in the car.
Rev counter is piss easy, need to bridge off a wire from the ECU, a pea green one, then connect it to the clock wire block thing, works spot on.
Windows are easy if you have the loom, check the multiplug, if you have loads of wires there, then you can have leccy windows, I only had 2
Central locking is easy, takes a while though. I have remote central locking, door cards etc have to come off, hook up the motors to the door lock, run the wires into the car, live & earth, door cards back on, works fine.
Boot i left, as its going to be an arse to get the wires up to the boot. Might do it one day when im bored
Alarm would be a cunt to do id imagine, means wiring up shock sensors etc.
