An OMP direct fit subframe for the Fiat Cinquecento. Part number HC796.
The Sporting is the one
Fiat put a 1.1 into a car weighing around 750kg and produced something genuinely entertaining for almost no money. The Cinquecento Sporting became a staple of grassroots motorsport and there are still one make series and cheap endurance events built around them.
That is who buys this frame.
Weight is the entire argument
At that sort of kerb weight, a heavy steel framed shell is a meaningful percentage of the whole car and it sits high and to one side. Ask us about the lighter GRP and composite options and take that conversation seriously, because on this car the maths genuinely matters.
Space
Tiny. There is very little between the door card and the tunnel and a wide shell will not go in. Tell us your height and build before you order anything.
Practical
These rust and were built to a price. Get the carpet up and look before you spend.
Both bolt patterns drilled.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Fiat Cinquecento. 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.
