Has anyone seen or got a Barchetta with (behind the seats) rollover bars?
Where do you get them, who fits them, any idea of costs ?

Take a look on http://www.barchettaparts.com/

Fitting is easy. It's just mounted with 2 bolts. doesn't offer any protection though. It's just for looks. I'm not too keen about it

Usually available of ebay at a variety of prices so check. Couple of different styles available - search for threads as someone put on a pair from a Mx-5 and they looked good (in my humble opinion).

Yes, that was me! Have a look Bonkers, these are off an MX5 and they have been easy to fit and look good. I'd be happy to give you fitting instructions if you pm me.

Thanks spiderboy, sorry I did not reply sooner.
Can you tell me if the fold-down wind protector behind the seats has to come out to fit the rollover bars? Any idea of costs, new or second-hand?

or, if you are good with hands:


not sure if will windprotector fit with rollbards, maybe custom one. but you can attach plexiglass to rollbars.


omg... a bit to much €€€€ http://www.discountcabrio.com/roll-bar-fiat-barchetta-avec-windschott-plexi-p-842.html?language=en

Style bars or rollover bars?Not the same thing.

Exactly my point,the style bars wont help if the B rolls over.(roll over means upside down right ? )

well... there should be some calculations how hight, best diameter, they should be welded at lest on 3 ponits, maybe they should go to the bottom of car to be stable.... but the biggest factor is speed.

this could help you not to loose scalp (for those that have), but the best is complete cage.
