If yours is an 8v engine the rubber seal just removes and once it's painted up slips back on again.
If you have a 16v engine the gasket is stuck to the rocker and it doesn't need to come off

The 1.4 and 1.6 8V engines use the same gasket. Would imagine you can still get them for Citroen for less than a tenner
