The metal part?
Would be much cheaper to remove the old one and get an independant garage or spares shop to make it.
Probs around a tenner dpending on length

as swampy said.

Take the brake pipe off your car, to a garage, and ask them to make up a section the same.

Will be cheaper than Citroen

if they are citroen prices they are very good
cheaper than any where else could make them in sure
but it depends how soon you need and where they have to order it from
