Not much you can do that will be worth it unfortunatly. Get a 1.6 dropped into her. I know its not what you want to hear but im in the same boat mate

No point be cheaper buying a 1.6 instead of converting

A proper sports intake system including manifold, port and polished head, new cam, custom 4-2-1 or 4-1 manifold with either a sport cat under the car or just decat, bigger exhaust bore maybe inch and a half, uprated fuel system with controller and a remap
Should only set you back 10k
The 1.2 is not designed to be fast but they can reach 110-140 brake with them mods

Hypnotically you could buy one the same colour and swap the plates
I've obviously never done this because it's illegal and is tax evasion, but it works

I might have a navy 1.4 sport for sale, it came in on a trailer and I was told it's a non runner, I haven't looked at it yet but I'll punt it for a tiny profit if i dont have to work on it

She just feels a bit sluggish at start and once I get to about 60

My 1.2 will top out at 95mph, would possibly go more if i had a runway to the moon.
