stick to the 1.4, not really enough differnence to warant the expense at that age.
If he does wants it though just ring arround . I had no probs insuring a corsa gsi when i was 18/19

How many bluddy corsa's are there on Ebay and in the write up it say's "its registerd as a 1.2, you can change it if you wish" 
There are friggin thousands of people out there, with bigger engins under their bonnet (especially red tops)
Let them run someone down and kill them, and be in debt for the rest of their lives because they have been sued for 4 million pounds!

Tbh my opinion on it is: If you cant insure a bigger engine then you shouldnt have 1, simple

Think about it this way, if something goes wrong and they look under your bonnet and find that engine you are in trouble for,
Invalid Insurance
Invalid MOT
Road Tax Fraud (Not a good thing to get caught with)
LOTS of trouble if you get caught mate
