Rollcage in a 4dr MK1?

[tassie_euro_mk1]

What do you guys think about a rollcage in a 4 door mk1 Golf?
Back seat removed, would it fit nicely? look ok considering its a 4 door?

Obviously it would be for looks but it would also be functional.
One that can bolt together. so if i decide to put the back seat back in I can simply take the rollcage out. And also keep the for a future 2 door project.

Or would I look like a Toss Pot

just an idea I have been thinking about.

if its just for looks why bother? Car would look better with windows tinted so dark that u cant see in

If its just for looks, you could make it out of PVC pipe. Lighter too

PVC PIPES! HAHAHA nice one! what about the weight of the full metal roll cage! power to weight = VW . But roll cages look the nutz though! personal call . . .

[GoLfMan]

they do look nuts, but only if you've got the same amount of nuts under the bonnet

haha, or use those pool noodles...
fluro coloured foam rod things, run wire through em and shape em. lol
dont have drunk passangers who may try and hang off them.
( i in no way know this from experiance ...well maybe i do, but that was a long time ago) haha

I think he got the response he deserved. Who would put in a cage for looks only? It's like you're losing usefulness (no back seats), gaining weight, and nothing else.

To each their own though... i like the loon's idea.

I think that if you were in any sort of prang, no matter how minor the police and assesors would take a very dim view of a false rollbar.
That is only my thoughts, you decide.....

[Golf Loon]

Dont they take a pretty dim view of a genuine rollcage in a road car anyway?

[gtimk5]

If the car is a hoon car and not a comp car then they do look down at them!

[worm]

While ur at it, u can also fit fake side exhaust pipes, bonnet scoop and spoiler..... and wear these

its your car, mk1 golfs look insane with rollcages in them, i reckon get it, if it doesnt look like a hoon car, then you dont need to worry about the police as much as a fully sick calais....... the problem with people in austraila is that there not daring enought to push things, wheather it be legal or even illegal, still my point is, if no one elce is gonna do it, then i reckon do it mate, for function or show use, who cares, its your car
