Default Got a clutch for my saph cossie

after looking at every cluth you can think off, most people said to me with the power im running (just under 270bhp) stick to a standard one.

so i went to buy a standard one and saw a guy local to me selling one on ebay!!
to cut a long story short i won the bid and picked it up yesterday for the complete kit it was only 37quid,

i took a look at the plate and it dosent look standard
but how can you tell.
i looked at a company advertising in fast ford. and they had a clutch plate on show but only stated organic and paddel clutches for sale. mine looks the same as the one in the pic. so how can i tell if its standard or not!!
the bloke stated on ebay that the clutch he is selling norm retail at about 250quid. and i know for sure a standard one does'nt cost that much!!

Go to Glastonbury and start to cook the "organic" clutch plate on a Bar-B-Q

If you sell loads of clutch burgers and no complaints then it must be Organic
