Yep, you can most definatly fit a rollcage into an estate. :thumbsup:

note though that it won't streach to the very back as you'd be fitting a standard saloon rollcage.

Seriously doubt it. as a rollcage is only ment to protect the driver, not the car.

ah yeh i suppose! lol. i thought it would need to be different as estates have longer wheel base and doesn't the roll cage fit near the arches? im prob wrong though?

Not necessarily, you can get cage that bolt/weld straight to the floor.
