The Sparco sub-frame for the Peugeot 205 (part 00499051) fits 205 models from November 1983 to September 1994. These are among the most common frames used in 205 track day builds and club rally cars, both of which still appear in significant numbers at UK events.
The frame bolts to the standard Peugeot floor mounting points and provides the 345mm x 271mm base mount bolt pattern compatible with Sparco, OMP, and Corbeau base mount seats. The frames are universally handed, so the same part covers both driver and passenger positions.
One thing to check before ordering: these sub-frames do not include seatbelt L-bracket clips. If the car retains a standard diagonal seatbelt on the outboard side and you are not converting to a full harness, you will need L-bracket clips separately to route the belt correctly alongside the new seat.
Construction is steel. Sold individually.
At £72.23, the 205 frame is one of the more affordable car-specific sub-frames in the Sparco range. Given the age of the platform, it is worth checking the floor mounting points for corrosion before the frame arrives. Seized or degraded threads are more common on 205s than on later cars, and they are easier to address before the fitment process begins.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Peugeot 205. 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.
Does this Sparco frame cover both the 1.6 and 1.9 205?
Yes. Unlike OMP, which builds a separate engine-matched frame for each, Sparco made one frame that covers every 205 from November 1983 to September 1994, so you do not need to know your exact engine variant before ordering.
