Roll Cages

[Beaker™]

Anyone here have any pics of cages in mk3 Cupra's? Im thinking about getting a black rear cage fitted but completely undecided on what style and who to go to to get it done??

Any info would be much appreciated

I would also be interested in a polished rear cage if anyone has any info.

Sorry to hijack!

No probs, been hankering after a cage for ages but the thought of ripping my interior out and welding bits in the car really scares me! Would look real nice when finished though

Just after some pics so i can approach some fabrication places and show them what i want, looked all over the internet but can't really find much info

I want something like this, but just in the rear. Don't want anything up front really, could get annoying during everyday driving.....

bear in mind a 'show' cage turns into a load of metal flying about in your car in a crash

metal spears....

Thats very true, don't exactly want a show cage, but just don't want anything up front.

Yeah i figured that, but it just scares me

why fit one at all Pete?

I've got a rear cage (or at least the rear half of a cage) that'd go in an Ibiza. Leg's were shortened slightly to fit around some of the trim, it'd be a squeeze with the standard rear panels in though.

In regards to putting in a cage just for looks, don't bother you'd get laughed at... alot! Most of them are made of cheese anyway, especially the 'bolt in with zip tie special polished sh*te'. If you want a cage then get a decent one and have it fitted correctly...

Numerous cages I've had over time.

Kev..
Could you do me a favour and ask Custom Cages on my behalf about my cage spec?
I just cant get an answer out of them. Need something in writing confirming its spec meets MSA/FIA regs

they were just round the corner from you were'nt they?

It looks so good having a cage in the car, and thats part of the reason im into modding the cars, for performance and looks.

Kev, ur's looks awesome mate!

I couldnt justify fitting a cage, and being without the rear seats, but the cages look so good!

Kev,

I'm Hijacking!!

But the flocking on the dash....i love that!!!

where can that get done......is it scary prices?

 

[Revo Kev]

Did it myself Andy, details for a kit came off CGTi Only costs around £25

Bill, I'll nip over next week... might have to dop me a reminder though loads on at the mo! ; )

sorry but i cant ignore the fact the having a roll cage without really tracking the car is just so pointless

and if u are going to track it, then u want it fitted properly!!!

show cages suck and are ever so pointless

Grant at Westec has a polished over sized tube aluminium cage for a mk2 Golf Gti (by Les Hicks) which might fit somebody's car?

It may or may not be for sale
