An OMP direct fit subframe for the Citroen Saxo. Part number HC781-2658.
The base part number is shared with the Peugeot 106 frame, which follows from the two being the same car on the same PSA floorpan with different badges. If you are cross shopping the two listings, send us the registration and we will confirm which suits your car.
The VTS and VTR
Those are the ones being built. A Saxo VTS is one of the great cheap competition cars and there are still plenty running in club events, which is who this frame is for.
Space and weight
A Saxo is small inside, so shell width matters as much as the frame does. It is also very light, which means a heavy steel seat gives back a real slice of what makes it quick. Ask us about lighter shells and tell us your height and build.
Check the floor first
These rust, they are cheap and few have been cherished. Lift the carpet and look before you spend anything.
What else you need
Side mounts and the seat. The plates carry multi-hole clusters at each corner, which gives two bolt patterns. Sparco, OMP and Corbeau base mount seats all bolt to the 345mm by 271mm spacing, and Recaro to the wider 405mm by 290mm, so factory Recaros can be reused. Cobra are the exception at 291mm by 330mm and need multi hole side mounts. Order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Customer Car: Citroen Saxo with Auto Style Type Retro Reclining Sport Seats, and Customer Question: What Are the Top 3 Reclining Sport Seats for My Citroen Saxo?. Some of that comes straight from real customer questions, so you are reading answers other buyers actually needed.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Citroen Saxo. 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?
It takes seats drilled 345mm x 271mm (the Sparco and OMP seat pattern) and 405mm x 290mm (the Recaro seat pattern). 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 OMP frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
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.
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.
