Why wouldn't you assume it's a 1.0 then? When I see de-badged BMWs etc I always think it's an owner trying to hide the fact they've got a bottom of the range model. Of course the Corsa will still say 1.2 or 1.7DTi on the back.

Still think you should remove the SXi badge as they look odd without the side strips.

I agree with leafgreencorsa i always think people are hiding the fact they got slow car too.
I got a GSI corsa and have removed all badges except the GSI ones BUT i think i might remove them now cos it aint no normal GSI the engine is a bit of a beastie now!!! 140BHP+

A friend of mine has a CRX mk1 E reg stripped out, with the Rover (used later by Rover in the 416 GTi twin cam) type 1600 twin cam motor a few bits of tuning done to it, and it keeps up with his Renault Williams which is loaded with tuning bits from Hillpower. Its not even Vtec, but its fookin quick and he called it Wee man.
