Full roll cage then?
With most (safety dev. omp, sparco etc) should be ok; comes close to the side vents tho - u might need to remove the actual vent grille part..?
Does depend too tho, of course,.. upon cage and fitting: u might bolt/ weld it in slightly forward/backward than other peeps..?

i dont know wether to get

OMP one
a safety devices
or a mps one as they seem pretty cheap but not sure on the quality or if they are strong (not that im planning on crashing but if i did i would like it to work a bit)

6 Point Bolt in is your best option. It clears the bash and is pretty easy to fit as well, but be sure to inform your Insurance company or better still, call them before you buy. Over here its illegal to have a non approved Roll cage in a road car and it will increase your policy. If it was something less noticable, you MAY be in with a chance but everyones gonna see the Cage in the event of a crash.

R1CH has a cage that sits perfectly (imo) round a nova dash, he had to remove the speakers and the cage goes through the dash that way, looks factory fit

i will tell them as i tell them every thing as its too risky not to for the sake of another couple of hundred quid if i wrote someones car of or killed them i would be screwed as i would be paying for the rest of my life.

so an motorsport approved cage will be legal on the road but a show cage isnt ignoe that i just seen your in ireland

His is a Roll Centre cage IIRC, designed to fit through the dash instead of in front of. :thumb:
