The Renault Clio Mk2 (1998 to 2005) covers a long production run that includes the 172 and 182 versions, both of which are regular track day and club racing cars in the UK. OMP’s HC779-Clio-2 is the vehicle-specific subframe for this generation, and at £97.75 it is one of the lower-priced frames in the OMP range. The Mk2 frame is separate from the HC873 made for the Mk3, and the two are not interchangeable.
Steel, powder-coated black. Both bolt patterns: 345mm x 271mm for OMP/Sparco seats and 405mm x 290mm for Recaro. Compatible with Corbeau, OMP, Recaro, and Sparco base-mount seats.
Sold as a single. For driver and passenger seats, order two. Available in RHD driver side and RHD passenger side.
No bolts supplied. When ordering, confirm which seat you plan to fit so we can check the bracket requirements upfront.
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 car-specific, so match the vehicle in the product name to your exact car and generation. If you are unsure, 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.
