Corsa B are 93 - 2000 model corsas, so yours will be one of those if it is 95 N reg. Corsa C are 2000 to 2007 i think maybe 2008. It was just there way of classifying the new models. Corsa As are actually Novas, but there were called corsas in other parts of the world. Simples really :)

I would buy new bottom bolts as well - I got mine from vauxhall for a £5... the old ones were well wrecked by the time I got them out :)

Also you will need a long breakers bar to shift the bottom bolts, I would also pre-soak them in WD40 or PlusGas for a few nights before you go for it as they are an utter git to move.

All in the job took me about 3 hours on my corsa with most of the time spent shifting the bolts!
