If you want a clip in half cage them dimma are £290 delivered but depending on what you wanted the there are fusion fabrications and also safety devices but i dont hink that they do half cages but maybe worth a look.

All three have got web sites so prob worth a look

You want a cage that will potentially save your life, or a silly show one that looks pretty but will do nothing in the event of a roll, except cause possible fatal head injuries?

i went for the show cage cos when i drive my other car (no cage) i dont worry bout not having one and injuring my self becasue personally i dont drive in a way which really requires one.

Depends what you want the car for really. IMO no 'road only' car should need a cage because they shouldnt be driven to the extremes on the road anyway. Obviously if track days etc are your thing its a different matter!

Dint really read first post so dont know what sort of driving/cage would suit you.

Lee doesnt only make shiny show cages tho - sure his track car has ome thing a little more 'substantial' in it

Of course it's near you head, it goes up the side of the head rest lol, not near your head would be in the boot LOL


What if you bounce around in the accident?

Or your taller mate drives and he has to move the seat back?

if you want a cage why not use a cage that will potentially save your life anyway?

They A) still look nice
B) Save your life if need be.

sorry to say this and DONT get sarcastic, but why do people spend loads of money on the inside of thier rs turbo to make it look the bollox, to then go and add a racing roll cage its like chalk and cheese???

it doesent suit the application as well as a race car roll cages are for safety i understand that will be one reason, but it just looks odd
