You've modified the head to run the dizzy then i assume?

I see you had some blankers made for the inlet manifold, any better pics?

head is machined for a dizzy and i have made a blanking plate to cover a air channel which has been machined in the manifold so as the clio ISCV csn be used. This is slightly different to what stan did i believe. Throttle potentiometer has also been changed for the clio item
