   Obviously you can buy cheaper clutch's that wont last long, and get someone to fit it for you, but best do it properly mate

   Last i checked Eurocarparts had something like 20% off clutches and other parts and they stock Valeo which is what i'd go for.

    Cheapest clutch kit on ECP at the minute is Sachs at £94.80, there's cheaper but they're the dreaded Trasmech

    At £57 I don't see it being a decent clutch.

    Yeah but if it fails after 2000 miles then it will be £57 for another clutch, not to mention another labour cost.
    
    Buying better quality products generally means they will last longer so saves money in the long run.

    i can do a clutch change for around £165 on the side, but your a bit of a distance from me with a full valeo clutch kit :/ but yeh £200 is a good price from a garage,
