   I've got one but not fitted yet. It's not a job I'm going to tackle myself. As you can appreciate it is designed as a safety cell, so anything like that is left to the pro's!
   
   Here's mine trial fitted:

   A show cage is very easy to fit but to be fair a lot of people on here will say don't bother.
   
   I don't really mind them, they look ok with the right mods across the car but they can be VERY dangerous in a crash - especially if you have any rear seat passengers

   What cage is it that you have fitted 180??
   
   I was looking at a basic 8 point OMP cage. Not as many bars as yours.

   haha. Rem your a legend. Make me laugh all the time.
   
   Ummm saxo180s cage has a safety devices rear section but with OMP legs by the looks of it.
   
   Safety devices are all weld in and require the removal of the fuel tank. And yes im friends with Andy Baker from ABmotorsport and he knows his shit, before you shoot me lol.

   Not sure tbh! I bought it from mrtuck16v and had it stripped down and refinished.
   
   I think it is an SD Cup cage with extra bars welded in
