Just leave it stock ffs. Unless you're willing to put a new engine and lights on it dont f**king bother.
Its a slow car, putting an exhaust on it and stripping a 1.2 just makes you look like a cnut

ok lets stop posting off-topic guys 
lets talk how to increase whp on 1.2l man has asked how to become faster WITH 1.2
get 4-2-1 manifold de-cat
straight through exhaust
skim the head
port polish ports
triple angle valves cut
and if you can find a performance camshaft and inlet manifold and shim it up
port polish throttle body

Gives you a grand total of +4 bhp for roughly £1500-£2000
Thats for the 16v version. The 8V has a totally different air filter
Ive just seen this there now and re read it. My mistake
I didnt read it right.if you get 45 mpg in it ill be rather annoyed because at 70, motorway i get 43 max!
In my 1.2 i get just about 100 flat and 110 downhill in my 52 reg. Please do get rid of them rear lights though, id love to go smash the rear lights on every clio thst has them no similar! Only way of getting much power in it is by a good service, air induction kits and full exhaue without getting too involved!
Do what im doing just concentrate on the looks, make it yours as i spraying my rims, backbox, angel lights and a hid kit all in good time!
DCI had 10 less horses am i right? I was quoted less for that reason, but going on it having a bigger engine, you could probably get more . popower through mods!
To be honest, there isn't a huge amount you can do without spending a huge amount of money, after you budget in the increased cost of insurance with modifications.
Removing weight will make it accellerate a little quicker, and if you go carefull you can re-fit it all when you come to sell, but bear in mind the less weight can upset the balance of the car and some different suspension will make it a lot better.

If u wanted a car too make faster I wouldn't of brought a 1.2 Clio there slow as anything that's what I've been told by me one who had one
I concur. DCi is a much better choice tbh.
That said across Dartmoor the other night I was keeping up with a 172 fairly easily, so you can still go bloody fast on the twisties, you just need longer to get up to those speeds.

Haven't been on here for a while, but I agree with the sentiments of keeping it standard and save up for the future. I've had my 1.2 for about 3-4 years now, and it's been very reliable - more over my insurance is only a few hundred fully comp. Now looking for a 172 or 182 (nice dilemma) but my insurance goes up by about 500.... but still affordable.
Also, my 1.2 8v is a tank. I have gone up the back of some idiots Focus (I obviously didn't know he was a tw*t before I hit him) and all I got was a small crack on my plate - his Focus was a write off
