    Both if you can but the tints would be subtle and not Limo black 99% all the way around

    Umm a show cage would be good but you can get cheap cages on Egay and online through lots of companies easily and fairly cheaply at the moment...

    Welding the cage in will look and feel best whilst adding some actual support and not just being there for pure show

    There was a group buy on cages the other day on SSC iirc but im not sure if its still going dude...

    As you say the tints would hide the cage away a bit but im still getting one...

    Id go for just a cage and forget the tints

    Either a 106 cup cage or SD half cage with doorbars would be a very good setup.

    Looking for a few places that do them for you now man ...

    Post the info up when i can actually find the sites i looked at yesterday man

    White wheels are high maintenance (esp. with this lovely weather atm.)
    but do look good...

    If you can save money and opt for mods that will make you happier with your car atm like stripping it, brakes, exhaust, induction, manifold or something cosmetic. Im sure you will enjoy that more for the moment until you have funds for a proper cage which will look the sex but cost and arm + leg most probably...

    Could be matey as it did the exact same on mine...

    I had to be near to the car. Like 5m away or less to use it

    Clifford now Try getting nearer the car and keep trying the button to check the distance and see if it actually works or not as it could be a sensor that needs re-setting.
