Direct fit subframes for the Volkswagen Scirocco Mk3, bolting to the existing mounting points under the seat.
Measure your headroom first
The Scirocco has a low roofline and it is the first thing that catches people out. Before choosing a seat, sit in the car, put a fist on top of your head and see what is left. If the car sees track use, do it wearing the helmet.
The frame is what sets that height, so the number you measure decides which seats are realistic. Send it to us with your own height and we will tell you honestly what will fit rather than what we would like to sell you.
Included in the price
Base frame and sliding runner in the price, where Sparco, Planted, OMP, Recaro and Corbeau all charge for the runner separately.
Seat compatibility
Cobra base mountable buckets and reclining sport seats with a 291mm or 405mm wide handle. A side mounted seat needs adaption bars or side mounts; so do Motorsport seats and the Nogaro.
Tell us the seat in the checkout comments. Priced per frame, which fits one seat.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Volkswagen Scirocco MK1, including our fitting guide, and Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Volkswagen Scirocco MK3, including our fitting guide. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Volkswagen Scirocco Mk3. 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.
