An OMP direct fit subframe for the Citroen C3. Part number HC834-2722.
The base part number is shared with our Citroen C2 frame, HC834. The two cars sit on the same PSA platform, which is why one design covers both.
The C3 is the sensible one of the pair
Where the C2 was the three door aimed at younger buyers and gave us the VTS, the C3 is the practical five door. That means fewer of them get built, and the ones that do are usually cheap first track cars or high mileage cars needing a seat rather than performance projects.
If yours is a C2 VTS, that listing is where to look.
Space and weight
Small inside, so shell width matters as much as the frame does. Light, so a heavy steel framed shell gives back a real slice of the advantage. Tell us your height and build and ask us about the lighter options.
What else you need
Side mounts and the seat. Steel, black powder coat, no bolts. Both bolt patterns drilled.
Get the carpet up and check the metal before you spend.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Citroen C2 Track Build with Sparco Rev Seats, 6 Point Harnesses and Roll Cage, and Customer Car: Citroen Saxo with Auto Style Type Retro Reclining Sport Seats. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Citroen C3. 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?
It takes seats drilled 345mm x 271mm (the Sparco and OMP seat pattern) and 405mm x 290mm (the Recaro seat pattern). 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 OMP frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Base mount or side mount, and does it matter?
This is a base-mount frame: the seat bolts down through its base, the simpler stack that suits seats with a flat bottom and keeps the install low-fuss. Our guide on base mount versus side mount explains the whole fitting stack.
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.
