if i bought a cage for a non sunroof corsa, im guessing it wouldnt fit into my corsa.
how could i make it fit?
would i just need to cut the feet off, cut a bit off and weld the feet back on so it sits lower?
any help muchos appreciated

what sort of sunroof? tilt or tilt/slide?
should be able to just make some dif mounting plates up. as if its like the omp one they sit a couple of inches off the floor. i definatly wouldnt cut the feet to shorten then reweld, as if you smash thats going to be a potential weak point in the cage imo!

In all honesty though how often will you be using the sunroof.

If its a normal cage, it wont fit.
The roll bar will foul the sunroof, the whole inside of the roof is lower due to the "slide" part.
mine
The problem
Good luck

Yeh, thought it would be.
had a polycarb infill panel made, but couldnt get a decent fit with it, so just going to get an oversized one and fit it over the hole, was hoping to make it look a bit neater, but sick of not using the car now, so fuck it
