ok, been looking around for a few prices on a full cage, i am considering racing a high powered xe.
which type of cage is the better one, a full multi point or just a full standard cage..
it will be fully welded in...
does anyone have a rough guide price for this kind of work? and any recomendations as to where to go to have the work completed...
im close to manchester area but can travel a reasonable distance

Custom cages site has prices for most stuff.
They put around a grand on for fitting the multipoint ones.
http://www.customcages.co.uk/Rollcage/LoadRollCage.castle?manufacturer=Vauxhall&model=Corsa%20B&type=Multipoint
Probably less to fit a Club kit but they don't list that.

Probably worth getting to a few events first before spending a lot of time and money prepping a car. Cage isn't essential if you're just starting out.

I wont be rushing into buying one, but just trying to gather the info is a start i suppose

I'm building a new track car atm. I've got the Custom Cages CL3 (club kit) on order which is basically all the bends then I'm getting 2 lengths of CDS to make up the rear and door bars so it'll end up like the CL4 kit but with both diagonals and harness bars.
The CL3 kit with the VAT is just short of £300 plus postage which I was told would be around £30. The separate lengths I will be getting through a mates contact and they're about £100 per 5 metre length, so it's £200 for both of those, making the cage £500
I'm lucky in that Ste W is fitting mine for me so fitting costs I'm not too sure on but as Ian said, Custom Cages is generally a grand plus VAT for the full multipoint kit, although that's a decent bit more work with the turret braces etc.
