might aswell just sell your car and go buy a 1.4!
can pick up a decent one for around £1400

Personnally i would sell the 1.2 8v because it wont have a sunroof or air con it wont have electrics or sporty interior - unless youve modified your 1.2
check your insurance but its worth getting the 1.6 16v sport i just sold mine for !800 on a R reg with 55k on it - noting wrong with it jus wanted money quickly

As Billy and Coastal said, easier, cheaper overall, cheaper to insure, easier to sell on etc to get a sport in the first place mate 
Coastalcorsa, I've found that the 1.6 sports are quite a lot more to insure than the 1.4's
