Fitting for the two front shocks will be around £50 - £60. The 52 or 54mm fitting represents the space between the two bolt holes at the bottom of the strut. Make sure you get this right before ordering or it gets expensive, as I found out to my cost......
£100 for the two shocks sounds about right.

It differs from car to car. Its not like all the car pre 95 cars are 52mm and the rest are 54mm or whatever. Youll have to jack the car up and take a wheel off and have a look, alternatively take it to a garage and get them to check for you. You can see on the picture below the two holes at the bottom, you need to measure from the centre line of each hole.

If you know someone mechanical its time to ask them for help, make sure you accurately check those holes, its only 2mm either way - not like a obvious difference.
Id imagine around £60 to fit the shocks ould be around right, its not a terribly hard job if you have any mates who have some idea... your going to need spring compressors etc aswell as a decent toolkit.
That Max power clio book thing has how to do the job in (along with loads of complete sh*te) not sure what you mean by circa clips? everything you should need is with the dampers( your meant to replace the top caps aswell - i havent)
£100 sounds about right for the pair
