Front End Cross Brace

Is there a front end cross brace available for our non-s r56's? Some retailers list them for the s models, but specifically state that there is not enough room under the bonnet in the non-s. Just looking for a project!

What about an understrut brace instead. It doesn't look cool but really makes a difference in handling! Tower brace doesnt do much, but looks good.

Does anyone market an under strut brace specifically for the R56?

I think that I saw one when searching for my top side cross brace. I'll see if I can retrace my earlier search.

As far as the original thread goes, it does not look as if the brace I'm looking for exists.
