How about be smart and swap to a 1.6 but not tell the insurance?
Grind off the engine numbers, keep the 1.1 inlet and literally not even jesus could tell the difference |
what if i crash and need to make a claim? or when i need to sell it? |
Wow hard to list you that you converted it
You really cant tell the difference, as there is none on the outside of the engine

Just save up till you can get the car you want. & don't go grinding off engine numbers & de frauding your insurance company, it really isn't worth the risk.
