We allow spaces to be CA at the cost and weight requirements for the spaces they contain. E.g. you leave 4 spaces in a Lux for cargo. You could CA three of the spaces for the cost/weight of 3-space CA (the fourth space is taken up by the CA itself. Any cargo you subsequently carry there is thus protected.
You can component armour any component (with DPs) regardless of whether it takes up space or not (but you pay as it it were 1 space).
We also allow "loose" CARGO components to be component armoured (in this case the space taken by the armour is external to the CARGO). The CA remains integral to the CARGO during shipping. We had some Killa Karts on a flat bed that each had a component armour shells to protect them (and prevent tampering) during transit. These shells enclosed the entire vehicle and thus prevented them being driven whilst within the CA (so they had to be craned on and off the flatbed rather than driven on). It is also a really expensive and heavy way of putting 10 points universal armour on a subcompact.
