Lowered baffled wet sump for Sigma 1.6L?

I recently managed to scrape a hole in my oil sump going over a speed bump (very slowly) in my S3 chassis 140. I can get the hole fixed by a welder, but I'm also annoyed by how little clearance there is for that giant sump hanging below the frame.

A dry sump is probably too much money to spend right now, but I've seen mention online of some custom wet sumps that are lower profile and internally baffled (to deal with the lower oil volume they hold), but I can't find where I can get one of these unicorns.

Does anyone know where these are sold, or do they just not exist?

So, I stupidly bought this bike by accident. I was looking for an XL version of the blue frame you see here, and I ended up finding the one I wanted at a bike shop in Georgia. But somehow I missed that it was not, in fact XL, but S. Specialized says the S is for someone 5'1" to 5'5". I'm 6'5".

So now I have to try to return it, or I can just sell it here in New England. The bike shop is dragging its feet processing my return, and it's going to cost me a few hundred dollars just to ship it back, so I figured I may as well save everyone some time & money. I'll be out the $300 it took to ship it here from GA in any case.

EDIT: It's a 5.0, as the link shows.
