93, K Reg 1.2 8v
I want to put in 4 dial clocks (with Rev Counter)
Is this possible and what model clocks are best to go for (GSi/Sport etc); I guess mine are cable driven?

You can tell if it's cable driven if the speedo starts at 10mph. If it starts at 0, it's electric.

Possibly - I'm not sure if they are all cable driven. And you might be able to convert your car to electric driven, I don't know.
I am sure people on here will know though.

SO A SET OF 4 SPEEDO CLOCKS WHICH START AT 10 SHOULD BE A PRETTY DIRECT SWAP
(Sorry Caps)
What else is involved? something to do with a green cable in the loom for the rev counter iirc?

it depends on the spec of your car if the green wire is there. If not its just a case of finding it from the ecu or run a new wire from the engine bay (all the info is on here)
5 screws in the column plastics the 3 screws in the surround (one at the top one each side at the bottom take that out there 2 screws holdind the clocks undo them and push the spring clip up in the center top and out thay come.
edit forgot there cable clocks your also need to release the cable what can be fiddly
