An OMP direct fit subframe for the Volkswagen Polo 9N. Part number HC814.
9N is the generation code, and it decides the part
Volkswagen changed the Polo floor between generations and the frames do not interchange. The Mk5 takes a completely different part on its own stem, so ordering on the Polo name alone is not enough.
If the V5 does not make the generation obvious, send it to us and we will read it.
What else is on this stem
HC814 covers the small VW Group cars of that period: the Skoda Fabia Mk1, Fabia Mk2 5J and Seat Ibiza Mk3 6L.
They are closely related underneath, which is why one OMP part number covers the group with different suffixes.
Check the width before the seat
A 9N Polo is a narrow car. The frame is not the constraint, the cabin is, so measure between the tunnel and the sill before choosing a shell. Tell us the figure and we will say which seats go in rather than which we would like to sell.
The detail
Steel, base mount, using the floor mounting points already in the car. Nothing is drilled and the standard seats come out whole.
Two bolt patterns from the multi-hole clusters at each corner: 345mm by 271mm for Sparco, OMP and Corbeau, 405mm by 290mm for Recaro. Sold singly and handed.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Customer Question: Can I Fit The Mirco MX5 Seat Into My VW Polo 6N MK3?. 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 Volkswagen Polo 9N. 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.
