    Oil catch tank for a Clio 172

    Has anyone fitted one of these to their Clio? If so is it easy to do? Did you notice any difference after it was on? I have been offered a chrome Greddy style oil catch tank with a promise of a smoother running engine & more powerful engine combustion! What do you peeps think?!?!
