1.2 8v or Sport I guess is easier.
Do you want PAS?

avoid a diesel
a 1.6 16v or 1.4 16v is the best to go for....
You wont need to mess round with fuel pumps etc.

Oh yeh, Forgot about that. Also Fuel lines and Radiator can be used in the Sports.
Although I think you need an extra mounting.

Sport or an SXi.
Can you keep the EPAS if you put an XE in an SXi?

Dont get EPAS, its a stupid system of power steering. Works the opposite to what its supposed to!

Mine is spot on. Light at low speed then heavier the faster I go, get quite a bit of feedback compared to alot of PS systems Not saying its like a racing car before anyone jumps in at me

SXi is a good shell, you get to keep the EPS as well. Better than fooling around with pumps and brakets.
Or a Sport is good also.. and if you want power steering get the braket.
The EPS on mine was good, loved it.
