    Fitted them myself on my Mk3 astra, cant be much different on a corsa, its pretty easy, just some clips on the inside reveal the screws to the mirrors, the mirrors come straight off, had a little trouble gettin them flush to the window thou

    Take the inside trim off your factory mirrors. If they are electric, the trim slides up and pulls forward. If you have manual mirrors, I think you will need to remove the adjusting lever first.
    When the trim is off, you will see the mirror is held on with 3 screws, undo these and the complete unit is removed.
    To fit the new ones, just hold it in place while doing up the 3 screws. It is a straight forward swap over job and will literally only take a few mins each side.

    I fitted electric mirrors to mine so I'm not sure about the manual ones. I don't think the original levers will work. I think you have to lean out the window, and physicaly move the glass by hand. Don't quote me on that though.
