I've seen a few posts on other forums about this and also some quite derisory comments about them. 
It seems some people are quite naive about this as they are taking the trim name literally and then getting upset when they see thousands about. As an older chap, who has been into 4x4's for most of my life this trim name is not so unusual. To my knowledge Ford have used 'Limited' as a trim level on their pickups trucks for decades and sold literally millions of them. I also believe Jeep used it on some of their models too such as the Cherokee.
I have always taken the 'Limited Edition' to be simply a trim level just like SE or SRi. However in searching the web trying to find pictures of a real life LE in limelight green (unsuccessully) I noticed that elsehwere in Europe there doesn't appear to be a Limited Edition model sold by Opel. I've seen similar trim levels with say for example a black roof or black mirrors but non have the body kit.
I wonder if the Limited is actually, after all, a limited trim level but in terms of UK only rather than in volume?
As the Corsa is sold worldwide under the Opel name I guess a UK specific model would indeed be limited in volume compared to worldwide sales. I know the VXR is sold as the OPC in Europe but that was the exact same model and trim, just a different name. In this case the LE specification itself seems to be UK only?
