Hi mate,
Welcome to the forum!
I don't know about rear ones, but have you tried OMP? They do front top and bottom strut braces for the Polo 6N2 Rally car.
Good luck!

Or, try Wichers as they make full on roll cages so they'll have a rear crushbar too.

i have
ultimate upper (huge improvement)
omp lower (not a big change but more stable under heavy braking)
kw variante 2`s (to stress them all a bit)
this is on an 01 1.4i 5 door
i havnt found a rear but i dont know if id fit one cos im am over steer lover
p.s. i think the wiechers is a 6 point mounting

i was thinking home made too all you need is a huge "I" with the top and bottom bits being the mountings then the vertical being the brace
when you mount it fit it nice and high up otherwise the rotational force that is exerted upon the towers will overcome the strut brace and it will flex wher as at the top there is more distance that is moved but at a much lower force
