Direct fit sub-frames for the Renault Clio Mk3, covering the Clio 197 and related chassis from October 2005 to 2010. Part number 00499103. Sold individually: one frame per side.

These drop onto the original seat mounting points on the Clio floor and bring the bolt pattern up to the standard 345mm x 271mm used by base-mount sport seats from Sparco, OMP and Corbeau. Compatible with all three brands’ base-mount seats, not just Sparco.

Sold as single frames. Order two for both sides. RHD driver side and RHD passenger side are both available; specify when ordering. For fore-aft adjustment, add the Sparco sliding runners (SS0049302-X2, sold in pairs). The sub-frames are fixed position without them.

Check the production date on your Clio before ordering. This frame covers October 2005 to 2010 only. The Mk2 frame (00499060) covers the earlier car from March 1998 to 2005.

Steel construction, painted. The bracket photos in the listing are illustrative: actual sub-frame designs vary by vehicle but the bolt pattern and fixing method are consistent across the range.

What's included?

Photos are for illustration: It is very important to point out that the main product photos are entirely for illustration only. With over 1000 different frames available for different vehicles and applications, the manufacturer images provided are entirely illustration. What you receive may differ from this image.

What will be in the box? There are several types of seat frames which may be supplied depending on the vehicle and application. You may receive 1 of the following 4 types. If you are using them with a certain seat, please contact us in advance for professional advice.

#1. A full replacement frame with a sliding runner and resisitor kit
#2. A full replacement frame with a sliding runner
#3. A full replacement frame only
#4. An adaption bracket kit

Additional seat belt brackets: Each seat frame can be used for a variety of applications including road car reclining seats throuh to Motorsport FIA seats. Seat belt brackets are not required in a range of application so manufacturers generally do not supply them with their frame kits. If you require seat belt brackets please contact us in advance

NOT SUITABLE FOR OEM/FACTORY seats removed from other vehicles

Bolt point tolerances:

Please note that OMP, Sparco and various other brands have a +/- 10mm tolerance on the bolt point locations on each of their sub-frames. This means that when installing the equipment into your vehicle, you may find that one or more of the bolt points may need extending for a perfect fit.

This is normal and, when installed by a skilled professional, it may only add five minutes to the total installation time. A prime example is the OMP Renault Clio MK3 frames and the BMW E46 frames as two bolt points need extending by 5mm in 75% of installations.

Drilling of frames and equipment may be required to complete your installation.

Matching seats and frames:

There are over half a dozen different bolt patterns in the industry for base mounted seats. There are over 30 different bolt patterns for side mounted seats. Aftermarket frames from different brands will have different bolt location points.

Seats and frames are not a direct fit between brands. Seat frames are also not suitabled for OEM seats (Fitted into a vehicle from the factory) Please ensure to contact us for professional advice before purchasing your seat frames. We will be able to provide you a recommendation as to which seat frame is right for which seat.

Will I fit in this seat?
Send us your height and waist size and we will confirm the fit. how a seat actually feels to sit in is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us and we will give you the honest answer.

What do I need to fit it to my car?
The car-specific frame for your vehicle, plus a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.

How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike. We keep the ranges on display in the showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.

Does this subframe fit the Clio 197 as well as the 200?
Yes, this Sparco direct fit sub-frame for the Clio Mk3 covers both the 197 and 200, since they share the same floor mounting points.

Is this for the driver or passenger side?
It is sold per side, so order one for the driver side and one for the passenger side if you need both seats mounted (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars).
