"The car is still registered as 1.3 cdti so very cheap to insure i will leave it up to the new owner to register the engine swap"
Typical?

It's a standard looking 1.3 diesel corsa D with a VXR engine in it, I'd say that's pretty epic. Imagine people kicking about in a 1.6 or something thinking that the guy with a diesel corsa's just taking the piss then he rips away from them and they're left in a cloud of turbo exhaust 
I think I'd rather have one over a VXR lol

I'm more disappointed when a corsa doesn't have the original engine these days

No most people would go oh look theres a corsa diesel and continue on there way. Or in fact most people would do what they usually do with corsas and not even register it.

corsa vxr's aren't even that fast as standard anyway.

That with a nice sounding exhaust on it would make people have a second look if you knew what to look for. Plus with a dump valve it'd be arousing suspicions. You'd only look straight past it if you didn't know what to be looking for.

engine and conversion done at a specialist £2000 minimum the all the other little bits the cost has outweighed the insurance already
