Who has what? Any recommendations; I'm going to be getting one over the next couple of months.
I've looked at OMP/Sparco/Safety Devices - anyone I've missed - all are around 300-350quid so not much in it on price.
Any help/pictures would be great. Thanks

You mean that non-FIA approved cage?
I like them, they look nice but they are not upto the specification of steel cages.

where does he state it must be FIA approved ? he uses his car for fast road use, so it doesnt need to be FIA really...they are TUV approved though even though i dont no what it means

OMP is a full cage for £300 though. I can get bits added later. OMP don't have any in stock though so it'll be a 2month wait

Christ; sparco one looks hardcore. £355; but again you have to enquire on delivery times.

Gonna speak to fusion fabrication and see what he'll charge for a proper one; shouldn't be too bad on price seeing as i've spent thousands with him over the last couple of years, LOL.

You evil bugger, you should have left it to a 5 owner, the bleeding things are made of tinfoil and need all the help they can get!
