Roll cages
The OMP Weld In Roll Cage at £1149.61 is the accessible option. The OMP 6 Point Bolt In Roll Cage at £1503.33 is the top of the range for a Leon built properly for competition.
Harnesses
Harnesses need a roll cage or harness barA 4-point, 5-point or 6-point harness with separate shoulder straps needs proper attachment points above and behind the seat. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar before using anything above a 3-point belt.
The TRS Clubman 3-point bolt-in at £80 and 4-point clip-in at £100 both use the standard seat belt anchor points and do not need a cage. For 4-point competition use, the TRS Magnum 4-point FIA at £205 and the Takata Drift II at £229 are the step up.
For 6-point harnesses, the cage goes in first. The TRS Magnum 6-point Superlite FIA at £245, the Takata Drift III at £270, and the Schroth Profi 3×2 at £370.01 all suit a caged Leon going to competition or serious track days.

Common questions
Which subframe should I use?
The Corbeau Direct Fit Sub-frames at £245 or the OMP Direct Fit Subframes at £102.92 are both confirmed for the Mk2.
Which roll cage should I choose?
The OMP Weld In Roll Cage at £1149.61 is the accessible option. The OMP 6 Point Bolt In Roll Cage at £1503.33 is the top of the range for a Leon built properly for competition.
Can I run a 6-point harness without a roll cage?
No. A 6-point harness needs anchor points above and behind the seat for the shoulder straps. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar first.
Should I choose a competition bucket or a reclining seat?
A competition bucket holds you better through a corner but is harder to live with day to day. A reclining seat keeps more factory comfort while still improving on the standard seat.
