I have a 3 door L reg purple corsa done 72,000 miles runs well etc.... I know its very old and past its sell by date lol but I just want some thing to jazz it up make it look a bit smarter like seat covers etc but I don't want to look like a sad chavette who is trying to do a old car up I just want it to look a bit more presentable, also I want to take the smell of old car away because I have tried loads of different air fresheners and none of them work.

I assume you mean Vauxhall. I once owned a Vauxhall Victor. Great car.

Jeremy Clarkson once said "People who know nothing about cars, buy a Vauxhall Corsa".
Unfortunately, you already have.
there are a few things you can do to tidy up your car. It'll cost may be £100 from Halfords.
You can buy cheap effective seat covers which if fitted properly will make the difference. Before you fit them though, be sure to Febreeze the seats to get rid of the smell. Febreeze all the carpets as well and get footwell mats.
Get some "back to black" to get all the grey exterior plastic back to it's original colour. It should work on interior plastic as well, but don't get it on the steering wheel. It'll also work on the tyres, but be sure not to get any on the brakes as it'll act like a lubricant.
You might also want to consider getting some new tasteful hubcaps, but if you have ones with gaps I would reccommend spraying your wheels black (again be careful not to get any on the brakes).
T-cut your car, then hand-wash it, and wax it.
At the end of all this you'll have a nice shiny reasonably good looking car.
Enjoy.

spend 50 quid on a valet, and if you dont want to run to the expense of alloy wheels then a smart set of wheel trims.

Buy a 2nd hand set of alloys from breakers yard and lower it. I used to put bags of cement in my boot to lower mine
