Is it a ph1 or a ph2? Ph2's are more prone to rust but there are more of them about.
The 19 16v's have a wider front track than the clio 16v (same wider track that's used on the Clio Williams)

Brother had a Mk1... was quite nice tbh. His CAT went and cost half what the car was worth so he scrapped it in the end. Seemed to handle quite well.

the phase 1 had the rear number plate between the back lights and the phase 2 had it in the rear bumper.
not bad cars to be honest, I remember a mate of mine had one as a cheap run around for a bit,
