Look at videos of clutch changes on Fiat 500. The Stilo 1.4 is a bog standard gearbox with absolutely nothing "strange" about it... so the principles are the same as 500 (which does have videos).

The biggest faff is going to be getting access to the starter motor. I've done my 1.9 a couple of times... and I've removed the battery box and aibox and front bumper to make access easier. First time I didn't remove the bumper and found that the car wasn't high enough off the ground to get the gearbox out from under the car.... so don't try to scrimp on getting access - it makes the whole thing a whole lot less drama, so it's worth it.
