A Sparco direct fit sub-frame for the Fiat Cinquecento. Part number 00499015.
The Cinquecento is a small, light car with a following in club racing, and that shapes the seat decision. Weight matters more here than in almost anything else you could fit a bucket to, because there is so little of the car to begin with, and cabin space is tight enough that shell width is the first thing to check rather than the last.
Fitment
Steel, on the 345mm by 271mm base mount pattern. That takes Sparco, OMP and Corbeau base mount seats. Older text on this range said same brand only, which has never been true of this pattern.
A side mount competition shell needs side mounts or adaption bars above the frame rather than bolting straight to it.
Ordering
Priced per frame, one per seat, handed between RHD driver and RHD passenger. Order twice for the pair.
Tell us the seat, and if you are building to a class rulebook tell us the class as well. Some series are specific about seats and mounting, and it is a cheaper conversation before the order than after it.
Frames in this range are either complete replacements or adaption bars depending on the car, and the photograph is illustrative.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Fiat Cinquecento. 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.
