Direct fit subframes for the lowered Renault Clio Mk2 facelift, picking up the standard seat mounting points, with nothing drilled.
Why a lowered car needs a different frame
Lowering the car does not change the floor, but it changes everything you have to clear once you are sitting in it, and this frame is made for cars set up that way. Take the standard height version if the car is on its original springs.
If you are not sure which the car is, measure from the arch to the wheel centre and send us the number. It is a quicker conversation than a return, and it is the most common mistake made on this pair of listings.
What comes with it
Base frame and sliding runner, in the price, where the other makers sell the runner separately.
What seats it takes
Cobra base mountable buckets and reclining sport seats, 291mm or 405mm wide handle. It will not take a side mounted seat without adaption bars or side mounts.
Tell us the seat at checkout. Priced per frame, which fits one seat.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Roll cages for the Renault Clio 182: the ones we would actually fit, and Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Renault Clio Mk1, including our fitting guide. 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 Renault Clio Mk2 Facelift (Lowered). 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?
Cobra design each tailored frame around a particular seat, so check the Compatible seats tab above for the designed pairing. Other seats with a matching bolt pattern can work as cross-compatible components rather than a designed set, so ask us before mixing brands.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Yes, and unlike most brands the sliding runner comes included with a Cobra frame, in the price. That changes the like-for-like comparison against other makers, where the runner is a separate part on top. Our guide to sliding runners covers how they work.
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.
