Customer Car: Peugeot 206 With Sparco R100 Seats
The Peugeot 206 might be compact, but that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on comfort or style when upgrading your interior. One of our recent customers proved just that by installing a pair of Sparco R100 reclining sport seats into their Peugeot 206, and the results speak for themselves. These seats not only look fantastic inside the car but also fit perfectly without interfering with the door cards or the centre console.
What makes this installation even more impressive is that the Sparco R100 seats were chosen specifically for their slimline dimensions and smart reclining function. Our customer wanted something road-friendly, supportive, and great-looking, and the R100 ticked all those boxes. With the right fitting kit, this install came together quickly and easily, creating a sporty, comfortable driving experience tailored for everyday use.
Why Upgrade to Sparco Sports Recliners?
Here’s what our customer had to say about the process:
Upgrading your factory car seats to a pair of Sparco sports recliners, like the R100, brings a whole new level of comfort, control, and style to your driving experience. Factory seats are typically designed for general use, offering soft padding and minimal bolstering, which can lead to a lack of support during cornering or spirited driving. In contrast, Sparco sports recliners are designed with deeper side bolsters and contoured shapes that hold you in place far more securely, making them ideal for back-road blasts and weekend track sessions.
What makes sports recliners so popular is their ability to strike the perfect balance between support and everyday usability. While they’re not FIA-approved for full motorsport use, they offer far more lateral stability than standard seats without sacrificing comfort for daily commutes or long-distance journeys. The reclining function ensures they remain road-friendly and accessible for drivers who need adjustable backrest angles for comfort and visibility. Whether you’re driving to work or tackling a track day, a Sparco reclining seat delivers the ideal mix of sporty feel and real-world comfort.
Sparco R100 – Smart Design Meets Practical Comfort
The Sparco R100 is one of the most versatile reclining sports seats in our entire range. Built with comfort and compatibility in mind, it’s a favourite for drivers upgrading daily cars or building fun weekend machines. Our customer went with the classic all-black fabric option for a stealthy OEM-plus look that blends seamlessly into the Peugeot 206 interior.
However, the R100 is available in a wide variety of trim choices to suit all builds and tastes, from sporty contrast stitching to premium vinyl finishes and even special edition variants.
Key Features:
- Dual reclining mechanism for both sides of the seat
- Lightweight steel tubular frame construction
- Integrated harness slots for track-ready looks
- Compatible with both 3-point and racing harnesses
- Base-mount bolt pattern for easy installation
- Suitable for a wide range of vehicles
- Road car friendly with easy entry and daily use comfort

R100 Seat Dimensions – A Slimline Seat for Compact Cars
One of the standout features of the R100 is its slim overall footprint, which makes it incredibly easy to fit into tighter spaces. This seat measures approximately 500mm wide, with a base length of 540mm and a seat height of 930mm when upright.
Because of this compact design, the R100 is perfectly suited for smaller platforms like the Peugeot 206, Mazda MX-5, Honda S2000, and BMW Z3. It offers excellent interior clearance without sacrificing the support and bolstering you’d expect from a sports seat.
R100 Seat Dimensions:
- Shoulder Width: 500mm
- Seat Base Width: 500mm
- Seat Base Depth: 540mm
- Seat Height: 930mm

Installation Made Easy – Peugeot 206-Specific Fitment
This customer’s installation was made simple thanks to Sparco’s Peugeot 206-specific subframe. This bolts directly to the OEM floor bolt points and perfectly matches the R100’s 345mm bolt spacing for a seamless fit. For those who want adjustability, we recommend pairing the subframe with Sparco’s seat slider kit.
The sliders are mounted between the seat and subframe and offer up to 200mm of forward and backward travel. This makes daily driving much easier while retaining a sporty feel behind the wheel.
Common Bolt Pattern Compatibility
The Sparco subframe uses a 345mm base-mount bolt pattern, which is one of the most widely used configurations in the aftermarket seating world. A wide range of seats is compatible with this Sparco frame, including both fixed back bucket seats and recliners from top brands like OMP, Corbeau, Recaro, Auto-Style, and Mirco.
That gives you plenty of seat alternative options if you’re looking to install another seat into the Peugeot 206.
