The photos on the website look like front discs but mabe it's just a generic photo, I would phone or email them to find out if ABS rings are already fitted.
Congrats. on getting you Clio. If it has Renault S/H then thats a good buy. If belts do need doing then make sure it's someone who is used to 172 cambelt changes, trusted Reno specialists are listed on the site, there must be one near you. Many happy miles to you.
