straight swap for the box but the rear diff will be a different matter. The P1 has a R180 rear diff which is wider - you may have to swap half shafts and as well.

All pretty wrong I'm afraid - the P1 rear diff is an R160 suretrac type, and as the box is basically an STI V saloon box it has 4.44 diffs, front and rear, and 1:1 transfer gears, whereas the UK classic has 1.1:1 transfer ratios (and so has different front to rear diff ratios).
