roll bar mod. ?

Any chance of modifying the roll bar to look like an R57 . I just don't like the height !

I think the only way you could do that would be to cut it and weld it back at a lower point. It won't look very clean though and would be a huge safety concern though, so I wouldn't recommend it.

I actually like the look in the R52 vs the R57. It looks solid in a way that the R57 doesn't, not to mention that you can actually take it to the track since it isn't one of those pop-up things (which I still don't really trust).
