Exhaust cam cover - does this look like the Clio's?

The cam cover (I'm assuming) at the rear of this picture. Does it look like the one on a Clio? This engine is one from a 406 which I am retro-fitting a Clio manifold and throttle body to.

The problem is the manifold wont mate up to the 406's plenum because the rear of the intake manifold fouls on this cam cover. Of course, the Clio plenum needs to be changed anyway and I'm hoping the face which the intake mani bolts to is higher so that the mani clears the cover.

Just wondered if anyone looking at this picture can see straight away whether the cam cover on my 406 lump is different to the Clio's because if it is then I might need to swap that over for a Clio one too.
 
Arse!

This could prove expensive, especially if other parts need changing etc. Dilemma time now, do I persevere or resort to 406 spec.... mmmm.

Edit: which cover looks the same? As you look at the picture the gearbox is on the right. If anyone has a picture of the banks with the inlets etc. stripped off so I can have a gander at the cover and mounts I'd appreciate it.

Aye definitely different, now have a part number and a price of 73 quid for it straight from Renault.
 
I've got the engine pictured from the other way round, probably why.

If you look in the link at my engine you'll see on the non-oilcap side the raised black plastic cover is at the top and the flat metal one is at the bottom........it may not matter, they may be inter-changeable, I don't know, just curious that the diagram seems different to the cars.
 
Bound to be some differences, as long as there's a work round I'm not bothered hehe!

Edit: Just had a look in your thread, I can see what you mean now, strange though because the exploded picture of the top cover assemblies of a V6 which I posted above seems to have a bit of depth/contour to it as opposed to being a completely flat cover. And that is lifted straight out of Renault's Dialogies part catalogue.

Don't suppose there's an obvious part number stamped on it is there mate?
