I ran an old punto without one for almost a year. Had no issues.

I wasn't bothered as they're "SAFE" engines. I would atleast keepthe bottom cover on if it was my 16v engine.

yer any stone or anything could jump up although not much room in the corsa bay.

maybe go from some clear plastic or somthing to create a clear windown in the top part of the cover

It is risky,but the Ford boys seem to do it on the YB without much issues.

I ran my V6 Astra without a cover for months without any problems.

if its your daily driver, wouldnt really be worth risking it just to show two coloured pulleys off, what engine have you got? seen some xe's with holes cut in to adjust verniers without removing cover an you can see them through there, be a safer option if you really wanted to show them.
