The Renault Clio Mk2, covering the 1998 to 2005 generation, is the platform that produced the 172, the 182, and the V6 255: three very different cars with different purposes but all built around a body that proved itself in national and European competition. The 172 and 182 in particular became the standard choice for production car circuit racing and modified class hillclimb events in the UK, and a generation of competitive drivers built their knowledge of car setup around a Clio Mk2. Proper seat fitment is one of the first modifications in any serious Clio build.
Part 68.68.19A covers the Clio Mk2 from 1998 to 2005. The part code uses a letter suffix in the Recaro format, which is the correct reference for this application. At £309, this is one of the higher-priced sub-frame kits in the range, reflecting the Mk2 Clio’s floor geometry which requires a more complex bracket than some simpler hatchbacks. The kit mounts to the OEM floor points, includes integrated sliding runners, and positions the seat correctly for this platform.
These sub-frames work with Recaro base-mount reclining seats and base-mount bucket seats. Side-mounted competition shells need separate adaptor bars. One frame per seat. If you are building a 172 or 182 for circuit use and want to discuss which Recaro seat gives the best lateral support within the Clio Mk2’s compact cabin, call us. The showroom team can confirm the full fitment stack for your height and build.
