Ive fitted a grande battery in mine
Modded tray and plastic surround to make it fit
As long as its secure who cares how big :)
 
You could fit as Ziggy suggested the biggest that would fit, but there is no real point in that. The single purpose of a battery is to turn the starter motor, & when the car fires up, all electrics is supplied with the alternator. The question you should ask yourself do you want a three year or five year battery. No real need for overkill.
 
Ours ran a 37Ah with no trouble.
Before the power steering was electric I recall some 1.2 fitted with batteries in the high 20s.
If it's not securely fitted in the box the NCT man will not be happy.
