Be easy to find one in the scrappy just grab everything that looks different

The base engines are the same so you in theory could swap the manifolds quite easily, if i was doing it id probably just swap the engine loom and ecu while i was at it and then it would definitely work 😂

Fit a mk4 MediaNav evo

I broke a few amazon sets then bought a Sealey set that literally looks identical in every way and has lasted years! (although i need to use it this weekend so we know what's going to happen now!)

Nothing wrong with a touch of OCD (obsessive Clio Disorder) I just worked out I've had 27 Clios now! not including ones I've bought to sell on! Still not done the V6 thing yet......
