Rusted Subframe Replacement?

[seeka]

Hi guys,

My front subframe is rusted to bits and needs replacing. There's a few going for sale online, but I wanted to know if the 197 subframe is the same as the standard Clio?

Thanks.

They're the same in that they bolt to a 197/200, but the mount for the radiator is in the wrong place, so will need the weld drilling off and moved to the correct place (and welded of course).

BTT Motorsport offer them and they are Powdercoated for a decent price

Yea mine was replaced by warranty before I got the car and it looked OK but putting the plastic engine guard on the doing up the bolt I thought it sheered but the section broke out of the support frame I got a genuine one and did not have time to paint it because of MOT rush. But it was less than 6 years old

2015




2021 These parts are not if for purpose and are part of the crash crumple zone the car has done 30,000 miles and not by the sea.

Here's how bad mine is!! So its an urgent job. I think I'm in luck with finding a second hand one though so fingers crossed.
