I have fitted a Sparco one from Demon Tweeks ?36.87+vat and it went on with no problems. However im running throttle bodies BUT it sits 9cm back from the cam cover and then 4.5cm up from there. Looking at a piccy of a standard engine. It does look close. You can always send it back if it doesn't fit (Thats what I was going to do)... Sorry I can't be more helpful.

The strut brace is most likley to foul on the plastic bit above the injectors, if anywhere. So it wouldn't matter about the air filter etc because they are not mounted in that area. Sorry I can't be more precise about your partiular setup but i've never had the standard injection on mine.

I've got an omp steel adjustable designed for the 1.3 on my xe with powercap.
Can't remember the price though, but it should be easy to find on the net.

the sparco one mentioned above will not fit on an XE that is running the standard SFi box. I dont know of one that will fit but still keeping the SFi box.
