Default Where to get a roll cage from for a s2

Hi, after stipping out my back seats etc in my s2 some time ago, i think its about time i installed a rollcage,

ive looked throught the net but cant find anywhere for a mk4, i havent got mega-money to spend though, even one of those 'show' cages would do,

would i be able to get one for 200-250 quid?, new or secondhand

There are lots of places mate. But your looking at adding a further £100 - £200 onto that price - then add VAT & delivery too

Safety Devices used to do a 6 point bolt in with either no Diagonal, or 1 diagonal, or even 2 for the super hardcore mo-fo's All the same price too! Don't know what it's like now as they went bust a while ago?

Stripped out interior and a huge ass bass box in the back - classic!

Did anyone see the pine wood roll cage James Merrett had in his S2? Dove tail joints for extra stiffness. That car was a legend man!

If it's only to fill a hole, get a rear strut brace and attach some harnesses to it

BTW mines a full cage identical to Oranocos
