Has anyone got pictures of rollcages for a corsa B i was thinking of getting a 10point bolt-in OMP one but haven't seen proper pictures of them in. They are only £300 and i was thinking thats probably too cheap for a decent one. is there any better off the shelf ones for more like £500 i don't really want to skimp on safety.
cheers

the difference in price probably doesn't reflect safety.
it probably reflects quality of how it'll fit the car and how easy it is to fit.

I will be offering a full Custom Roll cage making/fitting in the next 4 weeks, offering any style to your spec.
just working on a deal with a tube supplier so prices unknown at this time BUT will be very well priced towards the rest on the market, will also be made for CDS45 tubing.
Can Supply a Welding in cage aswell if you want to do it yourself.

something like this would be ideal without that pointless bar on the roof and another bar across the dash area aswell as to strut tops

Will keep everyone updated soon.

This is an omp cage
They obviously come in different specs. and most have optional bars you can weld across to add more triangulation and stuff.

what are you doing with the car?
An OMP 6/10pt one will be enough for a trackday car.....
