plus, you could probably sell the 1.6 engine for a similar price as what you pick up the 2.0 for, so if you did the work yourself it'd cost around £150 on various little bits?

my XE conversion.

£220 for XE with all ancillarys (sold C16XE for £200)
£20 for F20
used original shafts hubs ect.
paid £17 each for inner CV's
paid about 120 for engine mounts.

used original exhaust for a bit until i took delivery of new ashley group A system.
used standard brakes aswell. (now got EBC disks though)

so you could quite easily do it for about £300 maybe a bit more.

1.2 8v solid discs and calipers are more than up to the job.
