How'd you know it won't be used?
#5: Re: Show cage Author: chris_rock206, Location: Belfast, Northern IrelandPosted: Mon Jan 17, 2011 7:40 pm ---- cuz its a 1.4 mate and i wont be doin any rallying :L and i dont have that kinda money, you can get ones for a 106 for like 100 quid but id doubt they would fit or look ryt in a 206.
#6: Re: Show cage Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Mon Jan 17, 2011 8:38 pm ---- When you say 100 quid you mean used right? I've only seen one on here for sale over here for about 100 quid. If you don't want to wait a year you better buy one new.
#7: Re: Show cage Author: Iain, Location: Aberdeen, ScotlandPosted: Mon Jan 17, 2011 9:32 pm ---- You do get them, but I don't think they're very common.
I suppose there's a reason for that.....
#8: Re: Show cage Author: Icetto, Location: Cape TownPosted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 12:15 am ---- A might look cool but you then will have to defend your decision on a getting that rollcage. What if people want to race you and now you can't back that up?
I think you could use that money and get much better mods.

Until you have a smash and then your pretty showcage turns into multiple skewers.

This.
Plus with a roll cage fitted you usually are wearing a helmet, imagine hitting your unprotected head on the cage in the event of a collision.
Unless you wear a helmet while driving on the road... Last edited by CD-B3 on Tue Jan 18, 2011 3:34 am; edited 1 time in total

They make you look like a nob. The only cage that looks cool is a multi point welded in cage...even then you look a bit of a clown getting out of the car down at Sainsburys...
#14: Re: Show cage Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:08 am ---- SHOW CAGE?! you might as well glue some toilet rolls together and cover them in duck tape, what a waste of money, if you want a proper roll cage the cheapest way would be to weld it in yourself, but honestly, unless you're making a track car, I wouldn't bother

Sorry but what? Why would anyone need to defend any decision they make about their car? If we have any balls about us we say 'You don't like it? Ahh well, life goes on' and drive off at our own pace.
If someone wants to race you, just be grown up about it, put the testosterone in the back pocket and don't put other people's lives at risk by racing because some chav d**k thinks your personal choice of modification is s**t. Maybe they have Lexus rears and morettes? Oooh best race them.

Both valid points and something to keep in mind. Even driving sensibly, others could hit you and a show cage could become a lethal weapon if you crack your head on it or it breaks and parts are loose/ sharp in the vehicle.
If you want one, maybe saving up and having a properly constructed cage would be a better option. There must be second hand cages around somewhere from retired race cars. There's a lot of 206 out there racing. Last edited by chunkielad on Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:21 am; edited 3 times in total

I may have a 206 that fits that description
Covered in dents & missing trim too
#22: Re: Show cage Author: chris_rock206, Location: Belfast, Northern IrelandPosted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:04 pm ---- Im not on about a full a roll cage, my mate has one that sits in the back of his saxo and its no were near the front its just for show and most of my mates think its pretty decent lookin. it is only bolted onto the seat belt points or something in the back, so its no were near the front. there's ones on ebay for like 100 quid but cant see any other ones.
And tbh its my car so i'll stick watever on it/ in it, it doesnt have to look like everyone elses car, even then if you do that you just get slagged for copyin other people.

Chris I am the first to say go for what YOU want but keep in mind that these things disintegrate on any impact so if you are in a crash it can still become a hazard. If you can live with that, go for it if it makes you happy but just be careful.
#24: Re: Show cage Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:09 pm ---- Show cages can be deadly in a big accident, the tubes can split, shatter & cause all sorts of nasty injuries to the people inside the car.
One heavy rear end smack & that cool looking show cage can turn in to a deadly weapon.
Also how much is a show cage gonna load your insurance premium? ? ?
#25: Re: Show cage Author: 20619d, Location: barnstaplePosted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:22 pm ---- dude if you wnt it then go for it. loads people don't like my car but thats makes me like it more as i don't like copyin other people
#26: Re: Show cage Author: chris_rock206, Location: Belfast, Northern IrelandPosted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:46 pm ---- yeah ure cars ure own not other peoples but i just thought of somthing im goin to tint my back wondows so you wouldnt really see it then. might just tint the windows cuz i cant see me getting one they all seem to be for saxos and 106's and i dont wanna spend 100s on a rollcage. well thats that idea out the window :L 25 quid window tints sounds better to my bank account aswell ;D :L
