Hey man, yes its a straight fit, I fitted them to my Clio 2003 model without hassles, your model should be the same...
I am now in progress of fitting the back sport bumper with double pipe, and then modify the front one to fit.

hi

i was just wondering , could you take a picture of your arch and show us how far the wheel is from the suspension.
i have a 2000 w reg clio alize 1.4 and am also thinkin of sticking these wheels on. how far is the wheel and do they hit or cause any problems? because from lookin at my car which has the 14 inch alloys.. they doesnt look like much space between the suspension and wheel so it may cause problems when goin over bumps.. whats the drive like? any better? u have any problems of the sort?

Cheers
