What the update covers
The Golf makes up most of the range, from the first Mk1 cars of 1974 to the Mk4 hatchback, with separate cages for Mk2 cars with and without a sunroof. There are cages for the Polo Mk2 G40, the Scirocco Mk1 and the original Beetle too.
Each listing gives the Safety Devices cage number, the model years, where the legs and backstays mount, and what each section needs to go with it, so it is clear exactly what you are ordering and whether it suits your car.

Full cages, door bars and colours
Most of the bolt-in cages are built in sections: a front cage, a rear cage and door bars. The front cage cannot be used on its own; it goes with a rear cage. Door bars are chosen separately for each side, so you can have both, one or neither, depending on how the car is used and how easy you want getting in and out to be. Many of the bolt-in front cages clear the normal trim and dashboard.
Cages come in black powder coat as standard, with grey, charcoal grey, silver, white and red available to order. The approval varies from one cage to the next. The Golf Mk3 8 point cage, for example, is listed as FIA and MSA approved, while others are road and track cages, so check the listing for the car against your own championship’s rules.
Rear cages for every car
With this update, there is a rear cage version of every full cage in the VW range. A rear cage can be used on its own, without the front section or door bars.
There are up to three designs to choose from: a single diagonal, a single diagonal with a harness bar, or a cross diagonal with a harness bar. The harness bar gives the shoulder straps a proper mounting point, which is why a lot of track day cars start with a rear cage.
Harnesses to go with a harness bar
If your cage has a harness bar, a harness is the natural next step. Our range runs from road harnesses to FIA approved 6 point belts, and our guide to fitting a motorsport harness covers the angles and anchor points. For the whole VW cage range model by model, see our Safety Devices Volkswagen roll cage guide.
Garreth’s advice is to decide how the car will be used before choosing the sections. A road car used for track days has different needs from a car built for a championship with its own cage rules.
