you mean bonnet catch ??? and try a scrap yard thousands of em be a few quid max wouldnt bother with a new one .

 

[Mike125]

well when i type in bonnet catch i only get the bit thats on the slam pannel, i want the bit thats attached to the bonnet, iv rang every scrap yard in my phone book and not one of them have a clio that the front hasnt been smashed up

just buy a new bonnet with the bits attatched? probably the easiest way to ensure you ahev all the parts you need?

 

[Mike125]
