Competition seats for the Fabia 5JWhich bucket seat for a Skoda Fabia 5J
The Cobra Monaco Pro FIA at £235 is the practical starting point for a track day Fabia. The OMP First R at £294 is well judged for the money at a lighter weight. For a Fabia built properly for competition, the Sparco Evo QRT at £475 gives the strongest support here.

Roll cage
The OMP 10 Point Bolt In Roll Cage at £1300.28 is confirmed for the Fabia 5J and is the only cage we currently list for this car.
Harnesses
Harnesses need a roll cage or harness barA 4-point, 5-point or 6-point harness with separate shoulder straps needs proper attachment points above and behind the seat. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar before using anything above a 3-point belt.
The TRS Clubman 3-point bolt-in at £80 and 4-point clip-in at £100 both use the standard seat belt anchor points and do not need a cage. For 4-point competition use, the TRS Magnum 4-point FIA at £205 and the Takata Drift II at £229 are the step up.
For 6-point harnesses, the cage goes in first. The TRS Magnum 6-point Superlite FIA at £245, the Takata Drift III at £270, and the Schroth Profi 3×2 at £370.01 all suit a caged Fabia going to competition or serious track days.

Common questions
Which subframe should I use?
The Sparco Direct Fit Sub-frames at £78 or the OMP Direct Fit Subframes at £114.42 are both confirmed for the Fabia 5J.
Do you stock a roll cage for the 5J?
Yes, the OMP 10 Point Bolt In Roll Cage at £1300.28 is confirmed for the Fabia 5J and is the only cage we currently list.
Can I run a 6-point harness without a roll cage?
No. A 6-point harness needs anchor points above and behind the seat for the shoulder straps. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar first.
Should I choose a competition bucket or a reclining seat?
A competition bucket holds you better through a corner but is harder to live with day to day. A reclining seat keeps more factory comfort while still improving on the standard seat.
