If you're going to fit a cage even if it is just for looks at least get a proper one. Then at least if you do have a bad accident it's not likely to kill you.

Remeber you can't have back seat passengers with a cage in place and your insurance company will throw a wobbler show cage or otherwise.

You can leave the bench in place you just can't use it.

Dont see the point in a "just for looks" cage but deffo give Lee a call.

Thats not a diss on his product, but more your idea of whose going to be looking.

When I see a "just for looks" cage I think "what a tosser"

What's the point of fitting a cage at all unless you're going to be fitting a proper one? Just get a sparco/omp/safety devices fia approved 6 point if you're going to be getting anything.

its not just the price you should be looking at mate its the quality of
the cage if you want just a show one the link that NUTS RuS is the
one you need to try for and if you intend on buying more items of
lee in the near future he may even give you a good deal

ive seen the same show cage's for £250 but you end up paying £50
for postage

OMP/SD/Custom Cages etc are not show cages and most come as rusty black tubes.

I may be completely wrong but I'd guess Jamie just buys and fits someone elses cage as when I was there I didn't see any pipe bending equipment etc.
