The vehicle-specific Sparco sub-frame for the Volkswagen Golf Mk7, sold as a single frame at part number 00499070-Golf-Mk7. It bolts to the Golf Mk7’s factory floor mounting points in place of the standard seat runner and provides a clean, solid base for a sport or bucket seat without drilling into the floor.
The frame uses the 345mm x 271mm bolt pattern that’s common across the Sparco, OMP, and Corbeau base-mount seat ranges. So if you’re running OMP or Corbeau base-mount seats alongside a Sparco frame, the fitment works. The frame is brand-specific to the car, not to the seat.
You order for a specific side: driver (RHD) or passenger. A Golf Mk7 fitted with matching sport seats on both sides needs two frames, ordered separately. If you want fore-and-aft adjustment once the seat is in, you’ll also need Sparco sliding runners (part number 0049306 for a single, SS0049302-X2 for a pair) between this frame and the seat. Without runners, the seat sits in a fixed position.
Base mounting positions the seat higher than side mounting does. For a road-registered car where height isn’t a priority, base mount is simpler to live with and easier to revert. If you’re after the lowest possible seating position, side mounts and the appropriate side-mount hardware give you more room, but that’s a different product category.
The Golf Mk7 covers 2012 to 2020 production. Check the chassis code before ordering if there’s any doubt about your model year fitting this frame.
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 Mk7. 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.
