These Sparco sub-frames (part 00499049-Saxo) mount base-mount sport seats into the Citroen Saxo, fitting to the car’s original floor points without drilling or fabrication.
The Saxo has a strong club motorsport history in the UK. It is particularly well established in circuit racing through Saxo Cup, and it remains a common choice for modified track day and autosolo builds. The car’s light weight responds well to driver input, and a properly fitted sport seat improves feedback and lateral control considerably, particularly in fast corners where the standard seat provides almost no support.
Steel construction, 345mm x 271mm bolt pattern. These frames are compatible with base-mount seats from Sparco, OMP, and Corbeau. The Sparco branding on the part refers to the frame manufacturer; the bolt pattern is the same standard format across brands. If you are fitting a Corbeau or OMP base-mount seat, these will still work.
Sold as single frames, handed by side. The driver and passenger side frames are different shapes to suit the Saxo’s floor geometry. Select the correct variant for your build. Both share the same materials and bolt pattern.
For base-mount reclining seats only. Side-mount FIA competition bucket seats require a different mounting system. If you are not sure which type you have, check the Fixing Type attribute on the seat’s listing.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Customer Car: Citroen Saxo with Auto Style Type Retro Reclining Sport Seats, and Customer Question: What Are the Top 3 Reclining Sport Seats for My Citroen Saxo?. Some of that comes straight from real customer questions, so you are reading answers other buyers actually needed.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Citroen Saxo. 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). 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 Sparco 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.
