Cant decide whether it will fit my car or not. Mines a 1300cc but not a GTI. Obv a typo. I have tried to contact them but no luck. Shall I risk it?

I decided to phone and got some prat who when i asked just goes 'Go to the main dealer', and I said, 'Well im not going to get a peugeot sport metal gasket at the main dealer am i' to which he said, 'Well I dont know im not in the site at the moment, no one is so it will have to wait, call back another day'.

Probably the crappest customer service ive come across looking for car parts, just sounded like he couldnt give a toss and wanted to get rid of me.

OEM one is 55 quid though. Fuck it, il risk it. Dont think its an OEM one cos its metal, but even if it was its still cheaper than at main dealer.
