Top tip use a rachet strap to pull the legs together enough to fit it in the rear

Part way through fitting a cage in mine and it's been a nightmare! Completely strip
Out the interior including the front seat belts and the adjusters then jack car up
Too give u a bit more room with the legs, dash out steering wheel off, un through drivers door then ratchet strap to pull the feet in and it just about fits! Then you have to weld feet in too bolt it too. It's a proper nitemare!
