You mean the cover below the flywheel? it will work with the same clutch set up, just vauxhall being silly and making it harder to do a clutch lol

Yea thats the one mate it was that i just read a thread on clubcalibra that said the later f18 wont fit on a XE clutch :tard: but i was led to believe they were all the same lol.
