so what.
GSIs are not cheap to start off with. Imagine putting all the work in and getting an absolutely mint corsa GSI at the end of it, that'd be a treasure to take to shows, even when you come to resell, it should still hold 2k value easily.

Just because theres no gsi grill and a bit of the badge is missing doesnt mean its not a real 1 so hears a few pics of the log book for the car

Just curious, theres so many rep's out there and I own a Genuine white Gsi...
Think its a waste that its had a 2.0 dropped into it, but looks like it has potential.
