    roll cage

    Right not sure if there is one but after a cage for a avant.

    If not would consider a coupe cage but would need a few measurement to see if it would fit.

    Spondoolies waiting.

      Tornado Motorsport on Facebook also will make something custom for a reasonable price. I have seen their work in the flesh and rate it very highly.

          i had a really disappointing service from custom cages a real shame.

          i ended up buying the bends from a cage fabricator then i bought a few straight bars cut it all to size then paid a fabricator to buzz it up.

          i suggest find a smaller local business customer service is a value you can not price.

              poor customer service no return calls so went else where for bends then when went to order the straight bars was over a week late my calls were never returned and no apologies.

              I am unable to comment on quality of production but to be fair is very well rated.

              i had my car flat bedded to a friends place to be fitted and then clogged his workshop for over a week and when i told custom cages i was being charged storage for there error just felt as if it wasn't an issue.

              lovely material though when did arrive.

              the way i have done my cage it came in under £600 fitted it is not finished i will still be adding more to it but pics in my thread (man in a shed production)

                Thanks for the update. How did you paint or coat your cage once fitted.

                  i haven't painted it yet a couple of people i know have sprayed theirs but i will use some industrial rustoleum stuff which contracts as it drys so there are no brush strokes left.

                      Well after a load of phone calls. Picking myself up off the floor at some of the prices i have been quoted i am thinking of.going for the custom cage.

                      Mite be hassle but when there is a £1000 difference i think i will suffer that.

                              i had same issue with custom cages and noticed a month later their replys were all in my junk email inbox..
                              they said they would want £1800 as it would need to be cad designed and basicly developed for them to sell to others at my cost.. so i told them where to go
                              and ill be getting a coupe one and modding rear half to fit... or im seriously considering fabricating my own
