Love the look with the Cage! Those model doesn't allow to put screen and roof, right? Which the best Place for buy One?
I am pretty sure some people have fitted modified screens with this model of cage, but the hoods Caterham do won't fit. So you'd have to have one custom made.

Caterham would be the best place to buy one, but they're not a straightforward self-fit IMO.

Moreover, please, please do not fit one until you've had the car a while. As I've said previously, the cage makes the car very, very stiff. Which is great for track, but not so much for road use (IMO). More importantly it degrades practicality by another step. I wear a crash helmet in mine and would not recommend doing anything else with a cage fitted, even IF the cage had padding to it.

I'd had my car over 10yrs before I fitted a cage to it, and was driven by the fact I was doing a lot of track days at the time. The car's now going to be back to primarily road use and if I could be faffed with the expense and aggro of sorting the skin out, I'd probably take it off. As it stands the car will be used sparingly so the compromises the cage presents can (currently) be ignored.
