Insurance is going to be frightening - it looks like it has the induction kit and exhaust mods .

They are Volk Racing TE37's and they are fookin' expensive wheels so you should have no problem selling them if you want to but I think you should just replace the wheel nuts.

its a bit fiddly to get out if you havent done it b4
i had mine in and out more times then really nessacary and i kinda got the hang of it

you will find holes in your roof where the interior grab handles "were" and such, these will need plugged, and there will be holes in your floor, should be 4 bolts per "leg" of the cage, so it would probably be a good idea to fill these as well

personaly i would leave it in, but sum people think im crazy lol
my insurance company threw a fit when i told them i had bought a cage so i flogged it for a decent price (but continued to post about the cage for aaaaaages afterwards till the thread was locked LMFAO), but i wish i hadnt

Very , but I am a fellow v5 Type R WRC Ltd owner

It's just a shame the Rays wheels aren't 17 or 18"

Get a Link remap from Bob Rawle and it will fly (not literaly)
