right ive looked at a few threads on roll cages im after a full cage and have been offered an omp one but the thing is i dont mind the hastle of fittin it and rippin all the interior out its just i dont want to cut my dash up to fit it,

so my question is does this cage enable me to fit it without cuttin my dash or does it run around the dash? also after some info on other cages that may clear the dashboard and if any1 has any pics of ibiza's with cages in they could put up id be hugely gratefull.

cheers gaz

Agree with ibiza125 got to have the dash out, plus if you bend the cage around the dash surely your creating a weak point in the cage for potential flex/ failure?? Bill got his done at custom cages form what i remember and i'm sure he posted some pics of it might give you an idea of how they do there's.

You don't have to take the dash out unless it have triangulation through your fire wall to the front strutts.
Depends on the cage

Custom Cages made the ibiza ones for the launch cars and subsequent rockingham cars yes

also required the use of a smaller steering wheel... as std one would crush your fingers on the cage when turning
