This car has been my pride and joy but its time to move on, its had plenty done to it and how this was done can be found by following this link, what is listed here, and shown with prices here and here!
Description
This is a great fun car, which always puts a smile on my face! Being a 1.0 12V its cheap on the insurance (grp 2) and high on the fuel economy, I have on occasion reach 500miles from one tank (45litres), typically 420 which is a 40+mpg figure
The car was never intended as a head turner but does get double takes and is a definate conversation starter!
Although not un-seen the Irmcher kit is by no means common and liked by many, Corsa fan or not!
The ride with the AVO sports kit is stiff but rarely uncomfortable (old rutted back roads/farm tracks are best avoided) and holds the road well encouraging more from the driver and breeding confidence. The noise from the car is a great smiling point and is a joy to hear on a drive but at the same time can be minimalised by sensible driving when needed

Good points
Irmscher styling kit
General condition of the car and engine
Fuel economy
Exhaust note
low insurance and tax groups
Bad points
the exhaust back box does rattle at low temperatures but does fade when the engine is warm
In need of
Many have pointed out that the car needs some skirts but I havent the time nor interest to do this - something for the buyer to do to complete the look
Should the straight through centre section be kept the rattle may want to be looked at although this is a small factor as doesnt bother me once the car is warm.
