just 300 odd i fail to see the point when you can buy a real cage for 300


but for a real cage you'd have to remove the rear seats!!!!!!

Not all of them. Get a proper cage made and you can keep the seats... pointless really.

I wouldnt wanna be a passenger in the back of a car that has a fake cage!

i see your point, but i got mine for £50, if you can get a proper cage that you don't have to chop up your rear seats for the same price i'd love to see it!!!

OJC's cage is a show cage that it fitted properly, it has a very nice appreance, but IMO wont act like a safty cell

Dimma etc are fake cages, they do nothing

Rob lee's is a proper cage, made to wrk, thats it, if rolled it will work properly

Fair play matey... if all you want is a cage in the back to look nice then for £50 you cant go wrong.

im not saying its wrong to have a fake cage but just advising you that in an accident they can be more harm than good
