Technical Best head gasket kit for Punto 1600/90?

[chesh]

Looking for a complete gasket kit for my cabrio 1600 and a good price.

found this on ebay:

It looks like it doesn't have the EGR gaskets and few more but it's a cheap kit.

Can someone recommend a better kit?
Do I need to replace the head bolts or re use them?

FIAT or Payen won't be significantly more.

Not sure about the head bolts on the 1.6 -- what does the book say?

I don't have the owner's book and haven't found gasket kit by FIAT or Payen for 1600 engine (176A9000)

Shop4Parts or eurocarcare.net (or any of the other specialists) will do Fiat/Payen/Spesso, etc. Then you won't have to ask "is it any good?". Ebay shopping for car parts can be russian roulette as well as a bargain hunt.

I'd no more do a head gasket without a workshop manual than set out on a trek through the Amazon jungle without a guide or map. I'm pretty sure the Haynes Mk1 manual covers the 1.6.
