Part number 00499070-Golf-Mk6 is the steel base-mount sub-frame for the Volkswagen Golf Mk6, covering the 2008 to 2012 production run including GTI, R, and standard variants. It replaces the standard seat runners and accepts any sport seat using the 345mm x 271mm bolt pattern from Sparco, OMP, or Corbeau.
The 00499070 base part number is shared with the Skoda Fabia Mk1 and Seat Ibiza Mk3 sub-frames, which reflects how closely related those platforms are mechanically. The car-specific suffix in the SKU is how the inventory tells them apart at the order level.
Both driver and passenger sided versions are listed for RHD cars. This listing covers one sub-frame. Order two if you are fitting both seats, one per side.
Golf Mk6s are popular as track day and modified road cars, and the GTI particularly sees a lot of sport seat work. Getting seat height right is the common challenge with base-mount setups: the frame sits the seat slightly higher than a side-mount competition setup would, but it avoids floor modification and is straightforward to fit and reverse if the car needs to go back to standard.
Fore-aft adjustment can be added via Sparco sliding runners (0049306 single, SS0049302-X2 pair) between the seat and the frame. Not competition-rated, but suitable for road and track day use.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Volkswagen Golf Mk6, including our fitting guide, and Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Volkswagen Golf Mk5, including our fitting guide. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Volkswagen Golf Mk6. 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.
