Bright colour roll cage yes or no?

[M.C..]

I have a black safety devices cage, I have been thinking of having the cage powder coated Fluorescent orange as I have various parts sprayed that colour.
I am worried it may be a bit to bright inside the car and cause reflections on the screen, anyone got a bright cage and what are your thoughts?

A photoshop of the car at the moment with the orange wheels.

 

[Greeny.]

Not sure myself, can look good but in a kinda chavy way.

I'm going to be doing mine satin black when I get it abit less in your face. I think either would work for yours all depends what you want tbh, I don't see how it would cause to many reflections though?

 

[NorthloopCup]

I'm possibly biased, but I prefer mine a bright colour. I think the roof vent being bright green stands out more than the cage.

I get no reflections off the green cage either tbh. Helps that the dash is flocked I suppose.

 

[M.C..]

Yours was what gave me the idea.
I still want to come and have a look at yours one of the weekends if the offer is still there?

Yes mate just let me know when. You still got my mobile number?

Nice and white never had reflections on mine either. I'd do it orange if I was you

Definately bright orange. Finish the look!

 

[imprezaworks]

Mines white. Def orange on yours

 

[Crumpy172]

mines being power coated red wont receive it for another 2 weeks though

 

[M.C..]

@NorthloopCup yes I still have your number
@Cub. I will have a look at your cage when we are at Bedford (from the passenger seat :wink

 

[Sam@NP]

Yes, but do it well.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Yes, but do it well.

Yeah. 4 cans of focus ST orange from halfords should do it [emoji14]

 

[NorthloopCup]

@NorthloopCup yes I still have your number

Sound. Just drop me a text when your wanting to head over mate and we can get something sorted.

 

[M.C..]

will do :up:

 

[choong-moo]

Orange definitely buddy. Will look the cats fanny.

If its a roadcar just be careful. Some insurance companies void a claim if you haven't told them it's caged. Some won't even insure caged cars. Been there many times when I was building minis.

 

[JackJack]

Go for it

Its a road legal track car and everything is declared so all good.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Do it, do it now. Orange that is!

 

[M.C..]

I am picking my wheels up this week from the powder coaters so will see how the orange has come out, and if it is good probably get it done after Bedford the end of the month.

 

[Cupman29]

I went orange for mine and love it.

That's what I'm currently doing to mine Cub. You can have a cage without all the cold bare metal... Should hopefully have it in and fitted by end of next week. I'm undecided on cage colour though? I was thinking either gloss black, anthracite to match the 2118's or go for red to match the trophy but I think that will be over kill. Thoughts?

 

[Cub.]

I'd go light grey in a trophy. @aucky runs light grey wheels on track and I think it looks phenomenal. You could get the turinis done the same. Bit different.

Gloss black is the safe choice though

Oh you :wink:

They're actually Renault Lunar Grey. But they're now fucked, trackday heat has melted and bubbled the paint off.
I'll be getting them powdercoated gloss grey at some point as I don't think 'wet' paint can withstand the heat 😧

Mine aren't powdercoated and they're fine. It's all in the prep mate. Acid dipped, primed and painted any colour you like - £180!!

Yep, mine had all that. Allegedly.

Hmmm. Reckon they've cut corners then?

Perhaps. Or maybe just rushed it.
It was definitely triggered by heat though as it started on the front pair and ended up being all of them after rotation.

 

[RMDavis]

I think I'm going to go with anthracite to match the wheels. Not the standard black but not over the top either! I will put some photos up once she's fitted.
