the reply was .."I was just goin on what it said on my insurance documents"
- corsa-b-turbo

I tried the reg and come up as exactly what it is ...a simple Ecotec

Guys how do you tell, if the car is an SE or LE?

I have a C20LET 4x4 any clues as to how i know whether it's SE or LE?

Cheers

easy ..there is no turbo se models ...the LE is a solid black colour and most if not all are a "P" plate cream leather BBS alloys boot spoiler and a wee badge on the ashtray

few other small things as well ...but that should sort most out :D

Right so i have a what then?

It's not an LE coz there is no badge on the ashtray, or DTM badges on the wings, mind you there are no 4x4 badges on the wings either, mine is two tone green/navy blue.

Turbo 4x4

See pic, anyone know what type i have, I always thought it was just a Calibra Turbo 4x4, didn't know there was a SE or LE, then i thought it was a an LE coz the engine is a C20LET.

Im confuzzled.

what makes an SE then?

Obviously this cant be one as it's a turbo but just out of interest?

So two tone paint doesn't make mine a special edition?

In my eyes, mine is a special edition coz of it colour factory fitted kit and how rare the turbo is these days.

The colour must have been from the factory, I have seen only other calibra turbo's with this colour, it's not the standard nautilus green or blue, as my Omega was nautilus green and was nothing like blue green two tone.

the pic below is of a German one, only difference is the stupid reflector behind the number plate and the strange roof spoiler, other than that it's my car with sh#tter wheels. :think:
