Rollcage Fitted!!!!

[Dave_R]

Well after about 3 weekends working on the roll cage it's all sprayed and fitted. Some of you have seen the progress pics on my diary so far but I will be updating that soon as I have time!

So here they are:

Like to say thanks to Mat (bezzagti) that fitted it!!!

Looks really nice mate! what roll cage is it?

also what rear strut brace do you have? it is a raid hp one? (for the 6N VW polo anychance?)

 

[ibizacupra]

looks like the mk3 custom cage bolt in type to me

nice neat install in white

 

[surcalation]

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh

Can you see out the windows fine?

What gear knob is that? Looks a million times better than standard!

I initially thought I saw your car for sale on ebay but it's just a fairly similar one with cage etc

it's an ex Rockingham Cage from the Mk3 ibiza Cupra R's and the strut brace I think it is a 6N polo one.... brought it off Mat at a good price, it fitted and thats all i cared lol.

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh

Can you see out the windows fine?

Not happy for people to see her in the flesh yet, I wanna get a full respray done 1st

It's alright to see out of the drivers side but because I'm a short arse and sit close I have problems seeing out of the passenger side mirror.

Look in the readers rides section and all the progress pics are in there. It's just the little things that take time, we had a few problems but once it's all finished and look back on it all it was nothing to serious really.

Here's a pic of the car all washed up

And these are what i brought on my way home from the gym this afternoon.... gonna fit them before Performance Action Day on the 19th mmmmmmm

Sorry they not out of the wraping.... I don't want dog hair all wiv them lol

Those buckets will finish the car off nicely. Great work there Dave. Out of interest how close does the cage come to the steering wheel?

 

[surcalation]

Can I borrow the pics for my site then Keep your bit upto date and all that

 

[Dave_R]

Yea go for it Chris! Whatever pics I post on here, you're welcome to use

Here's the pics,

It looks close but I haven't hit it once yet.

 

[Deleted member 27930]

Nice dials are those original?

 

[Dave_R]

Yea, standard GTi or Cupra Sport ones

Looks better than when i had my rockinham in the 8valve, but i had a sdandard wheel. If you havent done it already, put some padding on the cage around where your heads close too.

By the way my box should be back from the builder on the weekend, cant wait to try it out...went for the 4.25 in the end

I would of made the pads bigger and run a continous weld around them (stronger) but I thinks thats strong enough.

Good work
