Welcome!
Don't spend money on modifying the engine as you wont get much gain out of a 1 litre corsa (I have one myself)

Depending on your taste you can do whatever you like to your corsa, you can keep it simple and tint the windows, debadge etc or you can go all out with a body kit, lowering, new exhaust and whatnot.

What paint did you use to do that with? if you just spray the steel rims behind the wheel trims and then cover it with a laquer it will look pretty nice depending on what you prefer

Hello and welcome 2 u, i wouldn't do anything that might slow it down only been 1.0, so don't add weight to it like with a bodykit, spray the plastic parts pf the interior, spray the boot surround same colour as your corsa, i did and looks gr8 also flat blade wipers look better than standard ones, i got some from Tesco's cheap for mine, drill your air box, it's free and engine sounds gr8 2, there's loads of mods can b done, get a hayne's power max corsa book, loads of gr8 idea's in it and explains how too do it.
