An OMP direct fit subframe for the Renault Twingo Mk1. Part number HC875.
The Mk1 Twingo was never sold here
Renault built it from 1992 to 2007 in left hand drive only, so a UK car is a personal import. That is worth knowing before you go looking for parts, because almost nothing about it is in the usual British supply chain.
It is also the reason a bolt in frame matters more than the price suggests: nothing needs fabricating and nothing needs measuring.
What the car is
Tiny, light, and with a single piece dashboard and a sliding rear bench that made it far more practical than the size implied. It has a devoted following in France and increasingly here among people who want something small and odd.
Space and weight
Very little room between the door card and the tunnel, so shell width is the real constraint. And the car weighs almost nothing, so a heavy steel framed shell gives back a meaningful slice of that.
Tell us your height and build, and ask us about the lighter GRP options.
Both bolt patterns drilled.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Renault Twingo Mk1. 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.
