Fair enough. To have a decent cage installed you are looking at well over 1k though, as show cages are meant to do more harm than good
mine was £450.
saved my life.

most people forget about the cost of fitting on these cages. Welding a cage in is not cheap.

The amsterdam idea seems boring to me. Different people like different things.

your arguement is flawed.

you can self certify a cage, for instance custom cages send you a piece of pipe that you do an example weld on and send it back to them and they will certify it for you

Pics of cage? You said you fitted it yourself, so that's where you saved money. I can imagine for a certified cage fitter it must be a few hundred quid. So for a cheap car like a Corsa that's mass produced it's easy for them to make em for £450. Was it full cage? Door bars etc? Down through dash?

This is true but i meen obviously we all are into cars but i couldnt justify going around a track a few times and also wtf is 800 euros all about if you brake down lol.

If the 800 euros was referring to Tonys that was just for track clean up, it was quite a long spillage that they use a special machine for, hence the price.
End of the day you either like it or you don't, but if you haven't been around then you really don't understand why it's so different from any track in the world and until you go you just won't understand

Ok well done you proved me wrong on a mass produced car. Now get an uncommon car and get a cage for £450
