One Recaro direct fit sub-frame for the Renault Clio 197, 246.75; a passenger seat needs a second one.
The mounts in between
Side mounts first: a Recaro seat hangs on its own fixed or flexible side mounts, which bolt to this frame. Recaro’s statement is that the seat and its side mounts are homologated as a complete system. Order the mounts alongside the frame.
The car
The 197 is the 2006 to 2009 Mk3 Renaultsport Clio, and the 200 that followed sits on the same floor. Recaro list the frame for the Clio Mk3; we list it again under the 197 because that is what owners search for. Choose the driver’s or passenger’s side at order.
What the frame does
Frame first, then mounts, then seat: this is the frame, and it fixes to the floor where the original seat did.
Tell us the car and the seat and we will price the frame, the mounts and the runners together.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Customer Question: Sitting Too Low In A Clio 197, And The Kit That Raises You Back Up, and Roll cages for the Renault Clio 182: the ones we would actually fit. 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?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. 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 Recaro frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
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.
