Oil hose help

I'm after some advice on how to accomplish a flexible oil return.

My situation is below, I have both end connectors, so that's cool:
Blue square = a 90degreee 16mm elbow (ignore the piping on the end of it)
Red square = a push fit 16mm opening (I have an end for that too)
What I don't have, is the piping in-between. Citroen use part metal, part hose (durable stuff that doesn't bend) and it all connects round nicely with some joiners and the world is good. What piping could I use that will allow me to bend it easily and be usable for oil application? Is there such a thing that is flexible enough to bend through a 120 degree arc in 16mm? or I could use two parts and a joiner of something?

It's not a clio, but I do have one... not sure if the right section...

Just normal braided hose that's used for oil coolers etc? You can actually see some in that photo being used? When I went big turbo on my Ibiza that's what the oil return was replaced with.

R6 rubber pipe is suitable for oil I think.

Being so close to the turbo/manifold you'd want to wrap either or both items to prevent any issues with melting.
