Following on from NeilM's inspiration....

Clutter's got cage!

Custom made for Oulton park's fleet of 197's by The Roll Cage People, bolts into 6 points of the car's seatbelt mountings and sold to me for the princely sum of £100 - bargain Clutternomics!

Here's hoping - crosses fingers!

Everything clutter seems to be cheap as chips, e.g. someone's selling R888s at only £100 a corner, you could almost run them as summer tyres.

what size tyres do they run.  the fabia runs 205/40R17's.  no much availability in tghat size.  im thinking of wider rims and a more common size tyre would be cheaper in the long run

Hee hee, I'm in serious mode now the season is starting. That big lump of a battery hanging off the bumper is next on the hit list.

Looks great Tony does it feel any faster without the rear bench? really enjoyed driving the 200ff with cup chassis completely different power delivery To what im used to obviously but it just kept begging to be thrashed which was fun!

Looks good. Makes me miss my caged trophy. I got a similar bargain from the MSV 182's back in the day!

The bench isn't that heavy, say 15-20kgs? I'm not sure you'd really notice it, but it all helps.

Yes, you can't really ride the torque like with the Golf, it's really involving.

Roll cage confidence FTW!  somehow the grudge match between you and me in my dad's clio is getting less fair by the day.  I cant even convince him to fit some track pad's.  BTW have you finally washed it?
