There were two types of rollbar on the 16i, the model was revised halfway through its prod run

I think the tiebar pick up points are different to an s1 as well

the roll bar set ups on both cars are completely different, the 16i had a 1 piece alu crossmember-the series 1 was split in 3 which was a plate either end and the tube in middle, the roll bar was thinner on s1 and the clamps weren't as sturdy.

the 16i was the better setup.

60 quid tops unless fully refurbed with all the bits in perfect working order and made to look nice.

In my opinion.
