Rendered Speculation: Renault Clio facelift
The third-generation Renault Clio has only been on the market for about two years, but this artist's rendering of a facelifted version is already floating around cyberspace. The conceptual drawing shows a front end with an all but completely eliminated grille and taller headlights, which more closely resemble the face of its kid brother Twingo.
More likely, though, is that this rendering resurfaced from before 2005, as it seems to bear more in common with the second-generation Clio than the current one. Besides, Renault has had its hands full enough with an electric car project, its dual-clutch transmission, new Koleos crossover, Twingo RS and bringing its F1 team back up to form.

The headlights are virtually identical to those on the current Twingo.

This is sheer speculation. The next major change in faces will appear with the next Mégane. That face might trickle down to the facelifted Clio in two or three years. The Clio certainly will not get the Twingos and Kangoos face.
The next launch here in Europe will be the Dacia Sandero which sports the Clios current face.

The Clio III is just coming out as an SW in Europe with the current look, so no way.
