I am looking to put a roll cage in my corsa B soon, but just wondered where the best place to go is. I want the chunky aluminium metal really. Or if anyone on here is selling one let me know

easy enough. says takes 30mins to fit, but it took me about 1hour 15mins 
this is because u have to cut this thingy that the seat belt bolt goes through, and i used a junior hack saw and held this 1.5 inch thingy in my hand wilst cuttin it! (i had no clamps, it took me 30mins to cut both bolt thingys)

i got mine from carnoisseur (who get it from dimma obviously). same price as dimma. if u want it asap then get it from dimma and pay 10 squid for next day postage, or get it through a company like carnoisseur and they wil get it in in about 5 days (dimma are slow ) and u wont av to pay postage! (thats wat i did)

Yeah, good sh1t too.
I used 1500 wet n dry, then a good polish with auto sol.
Can you see the diffrence? The door bars & the rear end are done, the front & middle sections are not.

If it's ali it will come up with a sand & polish.
My whole cage used to look like that. (your corner bits) i was well amazed when i got round to polishing it.
Get a magnet to see if it's ali (it wont stick if it's ali)
If it's steel see if you can get some ali bits made up the same then polish them.
