Why choose this Weld-in E46 Touring V1 roll cage?

AST digitises the bodyshell with laser scanners and designs the cage in 3D, so that it fits your car exactly and there is no need for trial fitting and measuring when welding. The V1 is the most affordable way to get a welded safety structure into your E46 Touring, with the same materials and the same fit as the heavier versions. If you use the car in competition, always check the regulations of your own organiser.
