The SW Motorsports Renault Clio 197 Direct Fit Subframe, part SWS-Clio3-Mount-197, is the correct subframe for the Renaultsport Clio 197 and 200, not the standard Mk3 Clio. If your car is a 197, 200 Cup or 200 Trophy, this is the listing to use. The top bolt spacing is 345mm, matching the Sparco bottom-mount pattern.

The Clio 197 (2006–2009) and the Clio 200 (2009–2012) are the Renaultsport versions of the Mk3 Clio body. They differ from the standard Mk3 in several ways, including a revised front floor crossmember that changes the seat mounting geometry at the front. The standard Mk3 Clio subframe (SWS-Clio3-Mount) is not compatible with the Renaultsport floor: the front mounting point does not align. The Clio 197 has its own dedicated subframe specifically because of that floor difference, and fitting the wrong part causes a problem at that front mount that is not immediately obvious until you try to torque the bolt down.

The 197 and 200 were well-established circuit cars: the 197bhp K4J engine and the 200’s revised version were tractable on track, and both were used in PCA circuits and Club Endurance. The Cup versions came with Bilstein dampers, no front wiper motor and a stripped interior. Removing the original seats and fitting a bucket on this subframe was part of the standard track preparation on all variants.

The standard Mk3 Clio side mounts and subframe are both in the range for the non-RS car; this part is exclusively for the Renaultsport version.

To confirm this is correct for your specific Clio RS, drop us an email or click to open a chat and we can help you confirm. Stock is shown live on this page; if you need these for a specific event date, tell us when you order and we will confirm the lead time. Call us on 0115 647 8650 if you prefer to talk it through.

Have you written anything related to this?
Yes: SW Motorsports Renault Roll Cages Updated Ready For 2024 is worth a read before you order.

Will this fit my car?
This frame is car-specific, so match the vehicle in the product name to your exact car and generation. If you are unsure, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.

Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. 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 SW frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.

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.

Before you order a cage

Made to order means our special order and roll cage cancellation terms apply once production starts. Tell us the car and the class you run in, and we will confirm the specification and the current lead time first.
