Sebastian, individual clipping planes for objects has been a long standing request and I am not sure how far it is the queue. Jason may have some more in-depth insight. If you really want individual clipping planes for object you need to use PovRay and play around with bounding boxes. That approach is fairly advanced and requires some working knowledge of PovRay. Otherwise I would recommend very carefully moving the clipping planes by hand (clip far, clip near ...) to get the view you want. Most of the times that works.
