The trouble with some of the newer cages is that they are very large on the outside, i.e. you can pass your arm betwixt body and cage! Mine is so subtle people think it is a roof rack :)

It's also built by R J Harvey ;-)

Ben you might be better of with a full internal if you want to mount things to it on the inside.

You won't find a cage that will protect the screen......just the roof......
