Dunc Maclean dont worry mate, due to financial hardship after the festive period 
i havent got the cash for those polished split rims so will be going down the standard decals and wheels or maybe the superleggera's, christ i wish i could just make my mind up

Awesome mate. 
Will read the lot when I get chance.
I've just got a similar cage to yours (FRST tho). Dont look much fun to fit!!!
Roughly how many hours do you think it took to weld it all in?? Cant believe you dont get proper instructions!
How much did you pay if you dont mind me askin??

Brasso couldnt really say other than loads and loads of hours, you could do it a lot quicker i reckon but im slow and as for price cage was just over 600 sheets, my labour costs are free and my mates are well... at mates rates theyre no fun to fit, so just expect it to be a pain in the arse and it may not be as bad as you thought. good luck andf get us some pics up when you do it

just spent ages readin this thread. car looks like it's gona be better than a brand new car when finished. And much more satisfying than going and spending 30 grand down a dealership on somethin not as good. I hope it goes like stink for you
