I am only concerned about the French or Italians taking my car because of the roll cage :D.

....The Italians will only take your car because they want to play with it :evilgrin:. The French will take it because you're English. Even the Belgian Police don't like the French cops! :laugh:
I don't know, I've seen plenty of caged cars driving through northern France to and from The 'Ring.
jhtrophy:
im sure thats for cars that are registered in france mate, there was a point not too long ago when i think an induction kit was illegal. as RR says seen plenty heading for ring from calais with a cage :happy2:
joesgti:
how can you hit your head on the cage if your strapped into the car? or is it if your getting out?
rex:
Sorry for the OFFTOPIC. Well, I drove 2 rally prepared cars with roll cages. The head room was not to great and when getting in and out of the car, I had to pay attention. Second, because the head room was small it was likely to hit the roll cage with the helmet if not properly fasten or if the roll cage would bend. The guy who was using one of the cars in our national rally (Romania), put a lot of rubber on the roll cage just above his head (for me this is a indicator that he hit the roll cage sometime before :smiley: ).

Don't worry - The French and Italians can only impose the law on cars registered in their country as far as cages and mods are concerned. If you are from say Romania and you have a cage, they can do nothing about it if it is legal in your country.
Wiechers do 1/2 cages and they are TUV approved, a 1/2 cage won't be FIA, those rules only cover full/6-point+ cages as far as I know but it can/should be built to FIA spec and by someone certified to do so. I'm fairly sure Wiechers 1/2 cages are what is in the Golf/Scirroco rental cars at the Ring too.
