Two names, one car: the Mk5 Polo is the 6R from 2009 and the 6C from the 2014 facelift. The facelift changed the lights, the bumpers, the steering and the engines, not the floor, so the seat mounting points are the same on both. Recaro list this frame for the 6R. We know it fits the 6C for that reason, and we list it here so a 6C owner can find it. The part is the same as the 6R listing linked below.
This is the Recaro VW Polo 6C Fitting Frames, Recaro Seats’s take on the seat fitting frame. A fitting frame is the vehicle-specific base that bolts to the floor mounting points in place of the standard seat runners. The seat then mounts to the frame, either directly or on side mounts. Getting the frame right is what decides your final seat height and how far back you can sit.

Choosing the right seat fitting frame
A fitting frame is the vehicle-specific base that bolts to the floor mounting points in place of the standard seat runners. The seat then mounts to the frame, either directly or on side mounts. Getting the frame right is what decides your final seat height and how far back you can sit.
Frames bolt to the factory seat mounting points, so no drilling is needed on a standard floor. Torque the floor bolts properly and check seat belt buckle clearance before you drive it, because a bucket seat often sits the buckle somewhere new.

Recaro VW Polo 6C Fitting Frames questions
Will the Recaro VW Polo 6C Fitting Frames fit my seat?
The frame mounts to the car. Whether your seat bolts straight to it depends on the seat’s mounting pattern, so check whether you need side mounts as well. Send us the seat make and model if you want it confirmed.
Does it lower the seating position?
A fixed back shell on this frame usually sits lower than the standard seat and runners. A reclining seat does not: it rides on its own runner over the frame and ends up about level with where the standard seat was. If getting lower is the aim, plan on a shell.
Can I keep the standard seat belt?
Usually yes, though the buckle position often changes. Check the buckle sits where you can reach it and is not fouled by the seat before using the car.
Do I need runners as well?
Only if you want fore and aft adjustment. Many frames accept a slider between the frame and the seat. Ask us if you need the seat to move.
