Default Rollcage

I am thinking of having a rollcage installed on my Esc Cosworth. The main reason being is that I am stripping out the front and back seats and getting a pair of buckets up front. I was wondering what advice people can offer me on a bolt in rollcage? I.e. Pro's and con's. Also I was wondering if anyone had pics of any Escorts with them already installed and if so what finish did they go with (colour, polished etc)?

Thanks

Mines been powdercoated in a tungsten grey... basically to match everything i had powdercoated that i could get off under the bonnet.

unfortunatly im not home until next weekend so i cant get pictures for you just yet.

Cant comment on the handling as the car hasnt been used in almost a year now....
but going by other peoples comments there cars do feel alot better with a full rollgace.... but i guess that could be down to personal taste and driving styles!!!

Hi

I have for sale a bolt in cage, black. I used the car for hillclimbing but I damaged the car and have bought a Gp A shell hence this cage is for sale.

If you like I could send you photos, whether you are interested or not. The rear of the car was much stiffer due to the steel bar between the rear suspension uprights.

cheers

Kenny.
