If there is no power at all then you could have fried some wiring somewhere or taken out the main fuse that sits on top of the + positive side of the battery. Check this first.

Hi mate, the Tigra was basically a Corsa so you buy a Corsa haynes manual for the same year as yours and it will be the same. The haynes site confirms this:

Good luck
