If you are transfering the beam complete the brakes are likely to be smaller on the 1.1 and also the torsen bars will be softer too. Other than that everything else should be the same.

yeah it'll most likely fit, but why you'd want to i dont know!

The reason i need to is change the beam is because my one is bent were the previous owner has kerbed the wheel and i cant find a 1.6gti one in northampton but the local breakers has a 1.1 so i wanted to know if it would fit and can i change my larger brakes on to it many thanks

its probably not the beam thats bent, but the stub axle like i once did

these arent THAT hard to change, but they can be a pig to get hold of. Luckily i found this: www.totalmotorsportsolutions.co.uk/showitem.cfm?ID=178&sitearea=205%20/%20309&parttype=Suspension which might be of some help
