Don't know who you've been speaking too bigguts, but the info is incorrect.
you do need a new subframe, front & rear & all the mounts too.
the 1.4 is the wrong car to start with, a 1.6 upwards all share the 'right' subframe and the gearbox would fit.
for 4.5k I'd get a 1.8T - it'd be a lot better all round to use.
