That deffo looks like a showcage mate. Its identical to the one that I have currently sitting in my gf's bedroom. Im tempted to paint mine aswell, but unsure of what colour. :confused:

it said roll on the ad and i assumed with it seperating that to but the actuall weight and thickness is substantial to hold my weight so im not sure but wither way im not planning to roll so it makes it look rallyish ahah

The wall thickness of the bars is actually rather thick when it all in pieces. How does it attach into the car?? Mounted on the front seatbelt bits and the legs go under the seat??

If that top bar and corners come apart (allen bolts ?) as it appears and it's not stamped up and certificated then it's a show cage no matter how thick the material is

no matter though either way - gloss or matt white sounds good just try 'n' keep any mucky hands off :)

definitely a show cage mike, have a look at dinky daves/others real cages, they are more substantual and not a simple design like that, it would crumble under a roll tbh

paint it white :)

100% a show cage, I had one in mine for a few weeks then saw the light and realised if I do crash it could cause alot of damage! They are really soft and not secured at all really.

I now have a proper custom cage, and it's well worth the extra money.

If your keeping it I'd say paint it White but tbh I'd just take it out!

I think that I could actually have the showcage that was yours. :think:
