What is the name of these cross braces?

Looking for the name of the cross braces marked with the red lines on my 2013 Mini Cooper Roadster S.
So I foolishly ran up on a curb and when the tire rolled off, the frame smacked down on the curb. The impact point was the outside end of one of these cross braces. The head of the bolt snapped off. I'm trying to find out the name of the brace to get a replacement bolt. It's a star bolt and the attachment point is more or less straight down from the door handle. This isn't my car. It's from another post on this forum titled "Suspension Cabrio Cross Braces and it's the closest thing I could find. (https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-braces-2.html)
Thank you to anyone who can help!

Thank you so much! Someone else suggested that side but I wouldn't have thought to look under Vehicle Trim. Excellent and thank you again!
