I found that some insurers really don't like cages.. I wonder why that is lol. Not something you can get away with not declaring either as its not exactly subtle

Nothing, they know the car is Modified, they just said I'm glad you told us I'll put it down in the list.
I know some insurers don't them

Looks good, hopefully you'll never find out if it works

Looks good, but as Atouba said - hope you never have to test it. I watched the pikes peak video on here, and it was only the quality of the cage that saved them.
I think the Safety Devices stickers are a bit like putting an m-badge on an non m BMW, but each to their own mate. Also, I'm confused why there are Sparco stickers on the back of Bimarco futura seats?
Despite all that, very tidy cup, me likey

That main hoop is scarily thin tubing. I wouldn't want to use that for anything other than "looking like a rollcage"
Isn't even a 'scarily thin' tubed roll cage better than none at all?
looks awesome btw.
looks awesome btw.

IMO hiding the fact it's an non FIA, MSA approved quality cage with a sticker from a respected roll cage company.
"Aaaah so you bought your cage from SD"
"Erm......... Yeah... No...... Looks good dunnit"
Its not a Safety Devices cage so IMO they shouldn't be on there
Yes, it looks good, but looks won't save you in the unfortunate event of an accident
God forbid it should ever happen

I agree. I could tell straight away that it wasn't/ isn't a SD cage.
Oh and why have you got Sparco stickers on the back of your Bimarco seats? :S
Tidy looking cup mind.
Yes, as he has no spare wheel "because racecar"
In a side impact because it has just been bolted to the floor not had a plate welded on first I wouldnt be surprised if the heads just pulled through the metal of the car, but TBH it would still absorb a fair bit of energy first in doing so.
If it rolls over then Im sure it will be better than without it, its triangulated etc so going to be a fair bit stiffer whether its a "proper one" or not.
In a head on, it will obviously do nothing useful at all.
If he bounces his head off the centre bar he risks injury, it should be padded.
I cant see it doing any real harm realistically, and it might do a slight bit of good but TBH these are relatively strong cars in a roll anyway, and TBH its pretty rare they go over in the first place, more likely to bounce off something than roll really.
The fake SD stickers are just horrific, so tacky!
No - not at all
I've seen the cheap, thin cages that people fit for some bizarre "styling" reason actually split in a roll and go into people.
The last thing you really want if you flip your car is metal that's so thin it will split leaving you a nice sharp edge
Providing its CDS, I dont think that will be a significant risk at all, you are probably thinking of ally "show" cages?
The obvious answer would be because that is the cage he wishes he could have afford to buy but he couldnt? LOL
Well yes, exactly what I was thinking LOL.
Like sewing an Armani badge on a Primark t-shirt?
