For the bonnet try <A HREF="http://www.cathburncustoms.co.uk" TARGET=_blank>www.cathburncustoms.co.uk</A> or you could just do what my mate is doing: get a welder to weld the plates on then get the bonnet smoothed and painted at a bodyshop.<br><br>As for the cage, I think almost everyone here is after one!! Only JJ has one and he's not letting on as to where it came from!<br><br>It seems to be that they are either custom made, or bought in black from places like the Rollcenter and Safety Devices, then chromed / polished.<br><br>Do you have a Fiesta or Escort?<br><br>Adrian.

shame really JJ, when people come here for advice on where to get something they want yet people seem to think that if they got something the same such as a rollcage, everyday folk would compare to someone else's, even if they live at opposite ends of the country! <IMG SRC="http://www.rs-turbo.co.uk/ubb/smilies/frown.gif"> sad world!

PaulCR,<br><br>Bad-boy bonnets are pretty easy to do - get someone to weld plates onto the bonnet in the shape you want, then fill and spray. I had mine leaded instead of filled, which means there's no filler, so no chance of it flexing/cracking.<br><br>Cages....mine was custom made for me, but most places sell 'em. Spec-R do 3" ally ones - bit too big though!! Or try Demon Tweaks.<br><br>[Edited by JJ (01-08-2000 at 01:40 PM).]

You're more than entitled to your opinion and the advice I gave out on the bad-boy bonnet was good, ditto Adrian's. As for the cage, I'm not against anyone putting a cage in their FRST and nor did I suggest it was copying.<br><br><br>[Edited by JJ (10-08-2000 at 11:10 AM).]
