if its a 1.4CL its an 8v most likely

16Vs have different seats, bumpers, rear lights, front indicators, fogs...the list goes on and on

Remap on a 1.4 8v would be a complete waste of money - the gains would be tiny like 5hp tops.

A decent exhaust and a good quality airfilter will see some improvement, but dont expect anything huge.
