FINALLY FOUND A SITE:
https://www.sifo.jp/products/

Yes...it's in Japan :(

BUT...

They offer the full brace kit for the Twingo RS as found on the Twingo Coupe des Alpes (Japan Only) as well as Dixel compound pads for the Clio (Lutecia) RS and Megane, and some rather sexy dry carbon diffusers...

Translation for the Brace kit:

"It is a model to meet the demand the members brace kit, which was developed to Twingo CdA dedicated, was an attachment to the Twingo Ⅱ RS / Gorudini. it will be possible that members brace kit contributes to body rigidity improved, and get more good handling.

Design intent

Master of the winding roads

Development as CdA exclusive body reinforcement kit in order to convert to "midfielder Pass", Twingo with a reputation for handling the "GT". Added developed a dedicated attachment to this, we have an attachment to the Twingo RS / GORDINI.

High rigidity and good handling
The kit consists of three parts.

2 point support two locations front lower arm section reinforcement bar
8 point support six front sub-frame cross member
2 point support two locations rear hatch gate portion reinforcement bar

12 point support a total of 10 points

Front lower arm section reinforcement bar up the lateral stiffness by a left and right join lower arm. It is intended to be more directly responsive suspension and steering.

Front sub-frame cross member up the torsional stiffness to more effective cross-bar shape. Point of attachment as high as 8 points, creating the handling with a sense of unity more can be securely fixed to the floor pan and the sub-frame.

Hold the twist of the body rear end, rear part of the bar, improve the responsiveness of the rear suspension.

Response when the rigidity of the front part, and began to cut the steering up. By suspension is to move more into the nose will often roll begins quickly. I control the twist of the body effectively by the front cross member, movement of the entire vehicle becomes quick for turning load applied to the rear suspension is faster, making it easier to change the direction.

Turning the load applied to the rear wheel will be the power to twisting the body, but usually, torsional rigidity is up by the installation of the rear bar. The force to be Nejiro the body takes directly to suspension, ground contact pressure of the tire increases. Contact patch of the tire becomes a linear response with respect to the operation of the driver using these, you can be divided to use freely the understeer, oversteer in the intention of the driver.

Does not rely on the steering, making it ideal for practicing cornering due to the load control.

Design

Use a hollow oval pipe that does not affect the ground clearance. (1.4 times the target value) 6 point mounting portion front sub-members, floor pan (front seat near the feet), front sub-frame cross member fixed with eight locations has improved torsional rigidity of the body. Rear part is connecting the left and right sides of the hatch opening, front lower arm bar, body center bar left and right. Both using the Oval pipe, I have realized the optimization of torsional rigidity and streamlining.

Livery

It painted in black you do not want to show off there.

And mounting

And our attachment it will be possible only in the sale of our cooperation store, please contact us for details."

Price - £330 + Shipping/Import
 
cost 700€ to import in France

so I forget the idea. Cheaper to ask someone to construct one here ^^
 
And not very useful anyway given the rigidity of the structure of the RS. Spend your money on petrol and have fun with your car, it will be money better spent :)
 
I like those forged wheels.. kinda oldskool JDM wheel mixed with some Euro-look.

The diffusors are awesome too :cool:
