Might be kinda like asking if a chevy v8 will go in a rover metro - probably but would be more work than it's worth.

Maybe someone will be able to give you interior dimensions of a saxo and the interior dimensions of a corsa, you may be lucky and just need a couple of bits chopped off.

What I meant was you would maybe have to chop bits off the bottom 'legs' which would, in turn, make it sit slightly lower from the roof.

Bearing in mind I have little knowledge on it it was just an assumption

I know a few ppl that have fitted saxo ones in there corsas and no chopping was required

Reason they sit slightly lower is that they are slightly shorter iirc

I think what he's saying, is that in the event of an accident these show cages do not protect the ocupants of car, but inface break up and injure the occupants of the car. I remember reading somewhere that a cage was welded in the center by the B pillar and the guy got hit from behind, the force snapped the cage at that weld and impaled the guy. Where did i read that, anyone remember the story...think i read it on novaload???
