Has anyone fitted OMP bolt in cage?

Have just purchased one of the above for a Leon Cupra R 05 model and would really appreciate some advice/information from anyone that has purchased and fitted one ideally in the same model.

No but it's on my list 750 quid tho for the better one it also needs welding in places

I heard this too, mostly bolt in but some welding, fillets??

 

[Murdered LCR]

Yes that's what I have been told

I would love to get one but you loose all practicality, it is after all a daily driver

 

[Murdered LCR]

Well yes there is that and with my seats I will need to get a new steering wheel and a snap off kit as I will never get out the car lol

It's on my list too! You will be better off welding it it rather than bolting. And because it's a fixed cage, you have to tension it as you fit it, which can be a bit of a ball ache.

What do you mean by tension it?-never heard of that before.

Ha ha ha Dan just lose some weight then you'll be able to get out the car loololllol

If you just bolt in the cage as it is, you are doing nothing but adding extra weight to the car. You need to pre-tension the cage as you fit it, so that the cage is forcibly pushing against your chassis and stiffening it. It can be done with ratchet straps, blocks of wood, bottle jacks, or any way you see fit.
