This has been covered in other threads before :)

Basically, in a nutshell......

1108 are the same in either Cento or Punto (MPi Seis excluded due to fuelling system)
1242 SPi will fit fairly easily instead of the 1108 SPi
1400 Turbo will fit, but not before a lot of cash is spent on it.

Not heard of the other engine sizes being fitted. Complete MPi 1242s will fit late MPi Seis, but not SPi Seis

Have a little search around to get full details (y)

may aswell sell yours, buy a sporting and swap over all the bits if you have done anyrthing to yours... thats what i did (y) saves all the trouble and insurance will def be cheaper!

A friend of mine in Cornwall finds more FIRE parts than he could possibly stock. There is plenty of parts about. He gets me sometimes stuff when I can't find it here.

I remember him selling bits on eBay before, and looking at his other auctions, I would say the seller's a breaker.

Rob_randomcruisers.co.uk did the 899 --> sporting conversion with a mate in a weekend! he'd be the best guy to speak to about that sort of thing!

www.findapart.co.uk
www.shop4parts.co.uk

have a search around for some online breakers, im sure there are some out there.
