Haven't got a clue if you can buy one to be honest , but my guess would be no . Imagine if they sold every little bracket , nut , bolt etc ..... they'd need a big storage facility . The bracket you've circled looks like it's just popped riveted on to me .You could probably knock one up out of a bit of aluminium .
Yeah its just riveted on. The bracket is fine its just the bolt has snapped inside it on the passenger side and the drivers side someone has drilled it out totally and fastened it by a nut at the rear (a bit pikey).
New bracket would be the easiest option.
Don't suppose anyone knows if this bracket is the same set up for all Clio's? I know there are a few non sports down the local breakers

I would imagine that they all have the same brackets , thats my guess anyway . I can't really see Renault making different brackets for different models , to keep the cost down . You could have a look at the nonsports i suppose , but maybe they were drilled out on yours because they'd rusted in ? It's possible the nonsports you'd look at , they'll be rusted in those too . Failing that , make your own , they're not exactly complicated in design looking at that pic .
I work for Renault trucks and they claim 90% parts availability of any current truck is over night and 100% of parts can be got in 2 days so technically you could order every part needed and build your own truck. I'm sure this bracket would have been sold when the car was new but now it's not in production it's hard to say. I can always have a look for you if you get me your reg

Just tried again mate . It says "

I put a sport bumper on my non sport and just made up a bracket out of an old hard drive holder...
Yeah got a email to say you'd tried. I deleted a few messages to make space as well. Must be to do with membership going from full to non member. I'll delete more.
Went to Renault and luckily they do sell these brackets so ordered them. 14 odd quid a pop for the pair but at least its hassle free and factory

Apologies for the late response.
Fitted these today with a Halfords rivet gun kit. One issue i had was the rivets in the Halfords kit were not clamping down one side of the brackets, rivets were too short. Not sure if this is down to me being a newbie with a pop rivet gun lol or if Renault used slightly longer rivets. Ended up riveting one hole per bracket and just bolted down the other.
