Si you would need to know the size of the battery to be sure of getting a box to fit. The gel racing batterys we use dont actually need boxes, they can even be fitted upside down if you like. I may know of some secondhand ones going cheapish soon.

Spiky,
I put my battery behind the passenger seat in my 205, thats where I think is best for it for weight distribution, safety and space (you will need all the space you can get in the boot if you take 4 spare rims and tyres along with jack, axle stands and spares)
Although I used 4guage wire for a car stereo amp and when my engine is hot I have trouble starting (which is scary when you spin on track and stall it trsut me), so one of my tasks for the winter is to run bigger cable and sort that out.
You can see my battery here:
The boot floor is much higher than the footwell and if you had an acciden there is is nowhere for my battery to go, whereas it could fly anywhere in the boot!
