Dec 1 Posted June 25, 2007 looks a bit daft imho!! Looks like a giant spiders web at first glance! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corozin 0 Posted June 25, 2007 That's absolutely ridiculous, but I have to admit total respect for whoever managed to weld it all in there as it looks an absolute nightmare ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted June 25, 2007 It looks like only a half cage. I can't make out ay bars running to the dash. Doubly pointless.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like a "Club Frame" have a look at the Mk3 white Squareback which has a similar Orangutun enclosure in the back... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonicriot13 0 Posted June 25, 2007 I think it's fair to say that's pretty pointless. A mod just for the sake of it is never a good thing. That adds nothing to the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted June 27, 2007 I think it's fair to say that's pretty pointless. A mod just for the sake of it is never a good thing. That adds nothing to the car. I would have said it probably adds about 30kg actually :lol: But it is totally pointless - it's not a full cage, it's not welded into the chassis and it's chrome plated, thus must also be the wrong grade of steel to be FIA spec :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corozin 0 Posted June 27, 2007 I have to say it would be interesting to see that car on track, what with a practically rigid rear end and no strengthening up front. I wonder if it would break in half at the bulkhead ? LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted June 29, 2007 How do the passengers get in? Well it looks like none of the cage actually extends forwards of the B-pillar, so loads of room to get into the passenger seat :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted June 29, 2007 I reckon it's still probably easier to get into than the back of a Corrado tho! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 29, 2007 Have never been a fan of rollcages on road cars They do serve two useful functions though, increased roll over protection and increased shell rigidity.....but these days, like so many other items born on the race track, they become just another 'accessory' for cars driven around at 25mph at a 'cruise' innit, propa wikkid man.... There is far too much shiney pointless cr@p kicking around these days! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That made me laugh :lol: Me too, Rob you'll never need one of these as you don't get much above 30 swerving from pot-hole to lumpy bit of tarmac! ;) Kev, as they're not actually tied into the fabric on the car (infact not even within walking distance) wouldn't you say the car's less safe in an accident? Wouldn't like to think what would happen to one of these Chromed Ape cages in a roll over... Would be like sitting in an exploding scaffolding factory!
