its a badge that is suppose to indercate what engine you got in there, not just any badge! BTW what was the finish like on the plastic bit on your front bumper? was it just sanded/paint/sand/paint untill perfection?

On my bro's 2.0 valver nova (190bhp), he's got 1.3SR badge on the back. Oh......traffic lights are fun again

so good watchin little corsa sport 1.6 16vs comin up next to it, revvin their engines, then when the lights go green, their faces drop, as the 5" slash cut zaust spits out flame at every gear change

And why not have a 1.4 16v in a mk3 Astra? They come as standard on the later model mk3's.


so your saying if u put a 650cc panda engine into a ferrari f50 shell it would still be group 1 insurance?
erm no.

hmmm loophole that is i think, and it wud prob depend wot insurance company ur with. I mean, when my bro put his redtop into his corsa, he was charged astra GTE insurance.

However, as mentioned above by Mr. TD, it doesnt always work the otherway round. Although i'm sure the insurance company would prob work out a deal for u
