Its a show car goomer... I've no intention in tracking it... In fact I would never track it with that cage apart from 1/4 mile which is what I enjoy doing.
Make's me giggle on here the way key board warriors slate each others car's, every car has a purpose to what the owner uses it for.

keyboard warrior.....
that suggests i dont get out and use my car........
What purpose does a cage like that serve? Adding weight? Possibly adding more risk if crashed? Looks for some maybe.
Each to their own I suppose, but I have an opinion on show cages.... and I will air it.

Keyboard warrior does not suggest you dont use your car in my eyes so if you think I ment that your wrong.. Its just digs on the site towards people just make me  thats all.
agreed though.. each to there own so enough said.

2tins of primer and 2 tins of flame red from halfords mate. Color match wasn't all that but it was inside so didn't matter. Mine actually gained 10kg's with the cage but i've also got a 20xe in there to which adds to the weight.. My power to weight ratio is still better than standard tho and looks better so all good in the hood.

Fancy a dance big boy 
..... and there you were telling me not to have an opinion. Pot.... Kettle.
Its an internet forum... folk post pics.... folk will get responses (some they like, some they dont). If you cant handle that fact I think you should give up on life.
Col - yup...

there are ways to put across your opinions "look at the state of that cage" isnt really the kindest ways. If you dont like something why not just say im not keen on that.
im sure you wouldnt be very impressed if someone commented like that about something of ours thats all im saying.
and no i dont fancy a dance you gay jock strap

Oh my goodness. That show rollcage looks very flimsy. I really hope he never has a crash with that car. I do not understand why someone would pay to put a metal item of no discernable use in their car. Oh my, it seems somewhat silly to me.
Is that acceptable for you --ToM--
Col is big enough to take the comments at face value.... i.e... comments on the INTERNET

Ah good old halfords.
Well I need to buy a car first (looking) but it's definitely something I would do just to save some weight and also not have to taxi people about.
Dont know about a show cage, adds weight and that's all, but I can really understand why people would add it for looks tho.
