Can someone tell me what colours the Vauxhall Corsa B GSi was available in?

I'm sure it was only white, flame red, caribic blue, and metallic grey (does anyone know the correct names for the white and metallic grey colours by the way)?

Also, I know that when it first came out, it had the C16XE engine. When did the X16XE get used instead?

And finally, were they only in production from 93/L to 96/N?

Thanks.

Thanks for everyone's help so far.

Does everyone know when the C16XE was phased out?

And how long did the GSi stay in production for - 93/L to 96/N?

GSi first released March 1993 on K reg plate, with C16XE engine. In August 1994, C16XE engine was dropped for the newly designed X16XE which met current emissions.
June 1995 the GSi was discontinued and a 1.6 Corsa wasnt built until the facelift in April 1997 with the Sport 1.6 with X16XE engine.
Colours were Flame Red, Glacier White, Smoke Grey and Caribic Blue.
European/Australian GSi's also had Black
