SW Motorsports Renault Clio Mk3 Direct Fit Subframe

The SW Motorsports Renault Clio Mk3 Direct Fit Subframe is a steel seat base for the right-hand drive Renault Clio Mk3 RS, 2006 to 2013. That includes the Renaultsport models. It bolts straight to the car’s factory seat mounting holes, so the floor needs no drilling or fabrication. SW make one part that suits either side, and it is priced per side, so a pair of seats needs two. It is the same SW part as our Clio 197 listing.

This is the layer between the floor and your seat. Side mounts or a slider kit bolt to it and the seat goes on those, and SW pre-drill it for most popular slider kits. They say it takes wide and tall bucket seats as well as smaller ones. It is 4mm mild steel with a textured black powder coat.

You get one base per side. Part number SW-SM-0003. Side mounts, sliders, mounting bolts and harness eye bolts are not included, so add those to the order if you do not already have them.

Which other cars do SW make frames for, and what should I add to this one?
Our guide to every SW Motorsport seat frame lists them by car, and covers side mounts, sliders and the seats we would start with.

Does this same frame fit other models?
Yes, the same frame fits the Renault Clio 197, Renault Clio 200 Cup and Renault Clio 200 Trophy.

Have you written anything related to this?
Yes: SW Motorsports Renault Roll Cages Updated Ready For 2024 is worth a read before you order.

Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Renault Clio Mk3. Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.

Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.

Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on SW frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.

Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.

Their roll cages are a different matter. Each one is made to order here in the UK, and production currently takes 6 to 8 weeks from the day you order.

Before you order a cage

Made to order means our special order and roll cage cancellation terms apply once production starts. Tell us the car and the class you run in, and we will confirm the specification and the current lead time first.
