Vauxhall Corsa D bucket seat guide
2006 to 2014
OMP make two separate subframes for the Corsa D, one for the 3-door and one for the 5-door, so check your body style before ordering. Corbeau also confirm their own frame for this generation, locked to Corbeau seats.
Cage options run from a budget half cage to a full competition kit, with JP, SW Motorsports and OMP all building for the Corsa D specifically.
- OMP direct fit subframe for the 3-door, £134.54
- OMP direct fit subframe for the 5-door, £110.87
- Corbeau direct fit subframe, £245, Corbeau seats only
- JP Half Cage at £553.20 is the budget entry point for harness anchors
- SW Motorsports Full Bolt In MSUK cage at £1,344.00 and the OMP Bolt In at £1,558.80 are the fuller competition options
- All FIA harnesses carry a stamped expiry date that ends their competition life regardless of wear
Two body styles, two frames
OMP make separate subframes for the 3-door at £112.12 and the 5-door at £92.39, since the floor differs slightly between the two body styles. Corbeau also offer a frame at £245, locked to Corbeau seats. Most bucket seats on this page are side mount, so a set of side mounts on top of whichever frame matches your body is the usual route.

Our recommendationConfirm your body style before ordering the frame
The OMP frames differ between the 3-door and 5-door, so check which you have 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 D, 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
The JP Half Cage at £461.00 is the budget entry point for harness anchors. The JP Bolt In Multipoint Competition cage at £749.65 covers the D and E generations together. SW Motorsports offer a Bolt In Half Roll Cage at £555.83 and a Full Bolt In MSUK cage at £1,120.00. OMP list a Bolt In Roll Cage at £1,299.00 for a full competition build.
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 D need?
It depends on your body style. OMP make a 3-door frame at £134.54 and a 5-door frame at £110.87. Corbeau offer their own at £245, but it only works with Corbeau seats.
Do the 3-door and 5-door share a frame?
No, OMP list them as separate part numbers, so check your body style before ordering.
Which cage should I choose?
The JP Half Cage at £553.20 suits a trackday car on a budget. The SW Motorsports Full Bolt In MSUK at £1,344.00 and the OMP Bolt In at £1,558.80 are fuller options for a more serious build.
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.

What's the best FIA bucket seat for a Vauxhall Corsa D?
There is no single best seat for the Corsa D, it depends on your build, but there is a clear first step: check whether the car is a 3-door or 5-door before ordering the OMP subframe, since the floor differs between them and the frame is priced differently for each.
For FIA competition seats, the Cobra Monaco Pro and OMP TRS-X are HANS-friendly entry points, both carrying FIA 8855-1999 approval, stepping up through the OMP Champ-R and Sabelt GT3 to the Corbeau Sprint X System 3 at the top. Tell us your body style and what the car is used for and we can point you to the right one.
