Some comedy responses in here. Unless they are ridiculously big spacers they will neither noticeably damage your bearings nor ruin the ride. In fact, they will improve your handling.
I run 15mm spacers all round (eibach hubcentric) and longer bolts will be fine for road driving. If being used...
That isn't right. I have a gripper in mine, and it is only noisy when turning at very low speeds. Occasionally it will 'judder' at low speeds when pulling off. Once you get moving though, you shouldn't feel anything. You may still hear it 'cluncking' as you go round some corners, but its rare...
I'm in work tomorrow so will download it then bud and stick it in the post :)

Lol at the OPs statement; 'You don't have a decent income and buy a clio 172'.
As Dan and DB said, I know of quite a few who run cheaper cars than they could afford for various reasons. I drive the Micra as a daily and have the clio for fun. Clearly I earn an awful wage.
I've seen it two weekends in the last month now, and both weekends Herbertez has been singing its praises. :)
I await to see how well it will hold up to you climbing all over it like a baby orangutan and collecting firewood piles on its roof.
Perfect resemblance if you ask me;
