Our recommendationChoose the frame that matches your seat
The Corbeau frame only works with a Corbeau seat, so decide the brand first. Cameron works out the fit and the best combination for a given car, so tell him your build and he will narrow the list.
Harnesses
There is no harness made specifically for the Corsa B, so you are fitting a universal belt and working out the mounting yourself. The standard rear seat belt mounts are not rated for harness shoulder strap loads, so one of the cages below, a bolt-in harness bar, or a fabricated anchor point is needed.
The Schroth Profi 3×2 at £370 and the TRS Magnum 6 Point Superlite at £245 are both FIA 8853-2016. The TRS Magnum 4 Point at £139 is FIA 8854-1998. All three carry a stamped expiry date regardless of wear. For a road or trackday car, the Takata Drift II and III and the TRS Clubman belts cost less, though none of those four are HANS compatible.

Our recommendationConfirm the anchor before the belt
Tell us whether the car is caged, what is behind the seats now, and whether a head restraint is going in, and we will tell you what the shoulder straps can anchor to before you spend anything on the belt.
Roll cages
Sparco list a 6 Point Bolt In cage at £884.47. OMP offer a Bolt In Roll Cage at £921.60. Custom Cages build both a CDS and a T45 kit specifically for the Corsa B, at £1,311.00 and £1,818.30, alongside a newer International CDS and T45 pairing at £1395 each.
If competing, check the specification against your class regulations before ordering, and keep the sign-off paperwork with the logbook. Pad any tube within reach of a helmet, and tell your insurer, because a cage is a notifiable modification.

Common questions
Which frame does the Corsa B need?
The Sparco direct fit subframe at £85.50 is the general option. Corbeau make one at £245, but it only works with Corbeau seats.
Which cage should I choose?
It depends on budget and use. Sparco and OMP options start around £737 to £768.00. Custom Cages offer a fuller CDS at £1,092.50 and a T45 at £1,515.25 for a more serious build.
Is the Corsa A cage the same as the Corsa B?
No. They are titled and built for different generations. Check the listing matches your car before ordering.
Which harness should I buy?
For FIA competition, the Schroth Profi 3×2 at £370 and the TRS Magnum 6 Point Superlite at £245 both meet 8853-2016, and the TRS Magnum 4 Point at £139 meets 8854-1998. For road and trackday use, the Takata Drift II and III and the TRS Clubman belts cost less but are not HANS compatible.
Can I use the standard rear seat belt mounts for the harness?
No. They are not rated for the loads a harness shoulder strap puts through them in an impact. One of the cages above, a bolt-in harness bar, or a fabricated anchor point is needed instead.
