u made a good choice, the 1.3 is a very good engine.
Plus ul only have an annual trip to the petrol station, more money for mods.
Really like the 1.7cdti

i would consider getting a cdti sri when i get another car 
as for the rage can, dont bother, take it too power rust or similar and get a 2" bore turbo back exhaust with decat. this will make quite a bit of difference, more than you could ever expect from a normal non turbo petrol. sounds good too. also get a cone filter, td's love them.

The fact that i drive a diesel doesnt bother me at all when i get 55+mpg
Its not rocket, but at 19 i'm quite content to have a sub 10s 0-60 car that'll still do 120mph, but low insurance
I think dervs are the way forward.....their becoming quieter, faster and more pwerful all the time. I've only heard real good things bout that new 1.3 lump.......its meant to be a gem to drive, and give untold mpg!!
With the mods u've said, i reckon it'll look sweet anyway
