Hi there,
The oil filter on the clio sport is located at the front of the engine behind the radiator and is very hard to change even with a proper wrench due to the engine size in such a small space.
The easiest way to change the filter (a little messy), first remove the plastic cover on the top of the engine,(4 bolts), next get a small container(ideally metal or heat proof) and put it under the filter to collect as much oil as you can, now get a long flat bladed screwdriver (ideally the handle should be above the front crossmember), place the blade of the screwdriver on the top of the filter and get a hammer, tap the screwdriver gently on the handle and it will puncture the filter, push the screwdriver in as far as you can, now push/pull the screwdriver in an anti-clockwise motion and the filter should start to undo, when you cant go any further round due to space, simply remove the screwdriver by wiggling it a bit, then bring it back to the top of the filter and repeat the above.
keep doing this and the filter will eventually be loose enough to undo by hand.
Hope this helps, after much trial and error with mine, although its the messiest by far, it is the easiest and quickest method of getting the filter off.
cheers Jeb.
