I want to fit a rollcage into my metro, no other reason but to be able to save more weight and add some safety. Ideally I would like to have a minimum of 6 points (a,b pillar and rear legs. I have no dash and would like the cage to sit as far up front as possible u like some i have seen which sit behind the dash, would like a X brace rear but a diagonal will do and must have door bars.

Are there any off the shelf like this or will I need to get a custom cage done. Also want it FIA approved.

Have you tried safety devices? and I think the a series cages go thru the dash.

My safety devices a series cage goes through the k series dash. Only has a single diagonal and didnt come with door bars so i fitted my own.

When buying new from safety devices you can choose single or cross diagonals with harness bar in the rear. Also with or without front cage and door bars.

Safety devices is too basic for what I want, I know you can 'add' extra bits I may as well get a custom cage done. The k-series rollcage is not even msa registered and the a - series one you have to ask for it to be FIA approved.

safety devices send me the fia papers I need to prove its a fia approves safety devices cage I have (a-series cage).
I think you need a custom cage to meet your demands.

I have a Sassa Roll bar that is made in Italy. It's not fitted yet...
It has a cross in the 50mm main bar and needs the dash to be removed or cut.
Here is where I ordered it:
