Believe it or not, Corona actually has a mild but pleasant hop presence, as well as being super clean.
I would make the following enhancements to the Coopers Kit:
Use a kilo of Coopers Brew Enhancer No. 1 instead of a kilo of sugar. You don't want the beer too heavy in malt and body, but sugar can thin out the kit excessively.
Chuck a finishing hops teabag into the fermenter after about 4 days. Ask for one suitable for a lager.
Ditch the yeast that comes with the kit and buy, from local home brew shop, a sachet of Danstar Nottingham yeast. This yeast will go very well at lower temperatures and is often used to make a "fake lager".
Where do you brew at home and what's the ambient temperature? (fill a bucket with water and do a temp check morning and evening to get an average).

At a brewday a few years ago some innocent guy brought along a six of Corona. We had been drinking IPAs, APAs, UK Bitters and stouts then cracked a couple of Coronas. Amazingly they held their heads up and we could still taste malt and hops. Mexican beers are not the poor cousins of USA beers, their breweries were founded by Austrians when Mexico was briefly ruled by the Austro Hungarian Empire (think Pilsner Urquell) and give me a Mexican over a Bud or Coors any day. :beerbang:
