Your 1.0 12v powerplant produces around 45bhp while the 1.6 is around 107bhp. You are probably better of selling yours and buying a 1.6 mate as it will be less hassle and insurance could be cheaper

I picked up my 1.6 Sport for £5k. Its T reg, 30k miles and probably cheaper in the long run than converting a 1.0 up to 1.6 Spec.

I agree with them as its not just the engine you will need to replace, things like brakes will need to be replaced these things do add up to be quite a lot of ££.
