A Planted Technology passenger side seat bracket for the VW Corrado, 1988 to 1995. Part number SB172.
Read the seat belt note first
Planted are clear that on US specification cars you will not be able to retain the centre retractable seat belt mechanism. That is a restraint component, not trim, so if your car has that arrangement you need a plan for it before you order.
UK Corrados were specified differently. Send us the registration and we will tell you what your car actually has and whether this affects you at all.
The car
A Corrado is Mk2 Golf underneath with a far better body on top, and it had a pop up rear spoiler that raised itself at speed, which was a genuine novelty in 1988. The VR6 and the supercharged G60 are the versions people build.
Values have climbed and good ones are getting scarce, so keeping the installation reversible matters more than it used to.
Practical
These rust round the floors and the sunroof. Get the carpet up and look properly before you spend.
Passenger side only. Ask us about the driver side.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Fitting Recaro Pole Position Seats To A Right-Hand Drive VW Corrado, and Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026. Those are written around the same car, from real fittings and customer questions, so they are worth a look before you decide.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the VW Corrado (1988-1995) - Passenger / Right *US models cannot retain center retractable seat belt mechanism. 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. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. 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 Planted 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.
