wire gauge

16mm will work mate. actually that's even a little chunkier than the minimum requirement. just make sure that you get proper junction terminators & end-points where you join the wires up. if you are doing it yourself, ensure you use rubber boots/grommets to protect the exposed elements or use lots and loads of electrical tape to prevent possible shorts & car fires..

the starlet is not a very power hungry car and a 16mm heavy gauge wire will hold the current well. actually, the most amount of current is only drawn when cranking the engine..
