   Looking at those subframes the only way to fit them in the car is to drill through the floor. You'd then have to reinforce the holes by welding a plate underneath. Maybe find a fabricator who could adjust the legs of the subframe to fit the original points. Tbh i 'd have just bought the correct subframes for the car.

   saxomk1 your frames fit your car no problem because they are designed for the saxo. The OP has a frame that is not designed for the saxo (at least that is what i perceived from the ebay description)

    Na the subframes will fit the saxo fine, u will need to bolt em into the floor lyk - but they are designed to fit cobra seats only - sucks since i dont have cobras...
