Roll Cage or Show Cage

[Dave_R]

Anyone have any photos of Mk2 Ibiza's with either a show car or roll cage... full or half just to get an idea.

And where can I get one from to? Found Wiecher Roll Cages but can't find any pics of them.

Cheers, Dave

Or a cage that won't decapitate you in a crash...

Roll cages are only supposed to be used in conjunction with helmets, a simple shunt could end up killing you otherwise.

If yer going to put a cage in it it may as well be a proper one.

Cant see the point of putting in a bling showpiece item and it doing jackshit to be honest

mmmmm loving the one mark posted up.....

Only thing that is in the back of my head about full roll cage is my interior, I have the red stripe seats with Cupra on them so I don’t really wanna remove them for that reason.

But putting the 15mm spacers in soon so if they rub with people in the back, what’s that point in rear seats then? lol

So maybe a show cage, I could have best of both worlds….. and if I would to go for the roll cage with the injury comment, I would probably have the padding placed in parts. I always seem to hit my head often so would be safer for me to have padding.

How - is it from banging your head on the cage to the side of the seat?

Anyway, here is mine - an ex Rockingham cage bought off Steve.

By putting in 'a cage' nobody will want to sit in the back anyway.

Bin the back seats

jcs356, basically from cracking your head anywhere, the rollcage takes up a fair amount of otherwise safe space.

because being hit around the head with a padded steel tube isn't going to hurt at all

Its no worse than smashing your head against the headlining.

Not that you'd have that problem......

headlining is flat though stu, its more like a baseball bat than flat.
