its good enough, it just means putting up with coil packs. where as the f7r from the clio runs on a dizzy cap and single coil.
thats why

The engine from the R19 and Clio are pretty much the same, i.e they don't use coil packs, it's only the Megane ones that do.
From what i'm led to believe it is a more straight forward swap using the distributor engines, but it is also possible to use the megane one.

Whats the matter with the car i'm driving can't you tell that it's out of style?

No, best way is getting an engine without a Coil pack. That means, not the later megane engine. Early megane, clio williams, Clio 16v, R19 16v...They all fit without problems.
