I didn't do it, i'm lazy!
It depends on how handy you are with a spanner i suppose and how easily your torsion bar come out (if it does!)
A garage will roughly charge from £80 to £160 to do it.
Tip: take the dust caps off and spray some WD40 on the ends of the bar and let it soak. (do this a week prior to attempting job)

What wheels you running? I found that when I put 15's on a non valver/williams they rubbed like a b***ard with the torsion bar lowered! Had to get the lip ground off the rear arches and heightened slightly! Valver inner arches are wider than the standard clio's. Just something to keep in mind.

My 15s are 6'5" wide with 195 /45 tyres
You must have the wrong offset mate.
15s with low profiles and the right offset is no problem.
Maybe some rubbing on the plastic mud guards, depends on the drop.
The correct offset for the Mk1 is ET36 (Renault std) you should stay as close to that as you can when buying aftermarket wheels.
I'm guessing you have ET 30 wheels or similar.

Mine's roughly as low as yours (Remedi), I can't really go over middle of the road bumps as the start of the exhaust starts to scrape so have to go over them at snails pace which annoys the hell out of the people behind.
I have 15"s on mine (1.4 Rt with no archwork what-so-ever) and they don't rub at all apart from hitting big bumps at speed

No more clio's for me!
Remedi said:yeah, i have the 'quiet' version lol
It was louder than my mate's Magnex exhaust on his old valver (with a decat!)
The quiet ones have a silencer between the cat and the backbox.
Fook me thats low!!! I bet even the ants scream for help when you pass over them!
Clio Mk 1
Now that is low!
I was told by a mechaniac that if you hit the clutch fork it will snap it clean off it no messing or bending. And on my car a right pig to change.
I think mine needs to be lifted rather than lowered due to the horrendous state of the roads i often drive on and i sometimes go across counrty in the summer, ie fields with ruts, not too deep though i manage to miss most of them.
