only thing is from my experiance of bolt in cages, there not that simple! normally u have to weld some plates in for the cage to bolt to, and cause there mass produced, there never a perfect fit. last one i fitted was in a bmw e30 n we ended up using a ratchet strap round the 2main uprights to get them in the right place

Thats a 10 point cage.
You have to fit them through the doors to get them in, rear part first then the front, bolt the 2 sections together line it up in place then fit in.

You need to trial fit it and weld the doorbars in the position you want them in first to ensure they clear the seats (as in my WIP thread).
And remember when your bolting it all into place DO NOT jack the car up... Loosely assemble everything them start applying pressure at different locations. You'll find the cage will "pull" the car into position. You'll know if you've done it wrong because the door won't shut

It is indeed advertised as a 10 Point cage. As there's 10 points of contact. Although admittedly when I first saw it I thought it was a 6 point as well
