Yes indeed, the 1.6 engine bay is pretty cramped for any modifications. Ask the guys who try to fit custom headers in the 1.6. The headers are located on the firewall side of the engine bay unlike other cars where the headers are on the front. This makes it a pretty tedious task for the guys and they end up messing up a lot of things in return.

Comparatively, I feel the 1.2 is more mod friendly since the engine bay has lots of space to accomodate stuff in and is more mechanic friendly to work with. What do you intend to do in your car Rishi?
