Default Roll cage dilema- What do you think

My S2 has a 6 point cage in and the front section has been removed so I can get the carpet up and do a small stereo install. I know it's not really what the car is about but need some tunes when I'm just taking it easy rather than hammering it.

Now for the dilema. Without the front section of cage I can see properly out of the nearside wingmirror and open the sunroof as well as it being easier to get in and out. With it in the car definately feels stiffer and more responsive to my inputs.

So should I put the front section back in or leave it in the garage?

leave the front section out mate - when you go to bedford etc... you can chuck it back in.
I know that in the week i had the xr2 fully caged up, with doorbars etc... it did my head in!

Deffo put it back in!! Its not exactly an every day car is it?!

Your cage must be very different to mine as I can fully see the mirror, and open the sunroof and its just the same getting in/out!

I say put it back in... Least if you are hammering it and something was to happen, you'd be safe!
