Lambo Doors

[MistaSmiff]

Who's gonna be the first in this forum ??, :D Visually they are amazing but I have not seen one on an E46 in the flesh..

Anybody got any idea's how much it would cost ?

[peppernick]

We have tried it on Teddy's M3. Not straight forward dude. Welding the hinges to the chassis is a must.

Good kits cost £1000, around the same £ for labour too.

LOL...what you mean you tried it ? did the doors fall off ..lol

What do you mean did the door fall off? It wouldn't even stay on!

I looked into this last year, but then Durgesh showed me a few lambo door kits at HIN this year and the doors were flimsy as hell, i.e. when they were up, the slightest breeze would send them swinging. Recently though, there was an e46 coupe with lambo doors at an Ace Cafe meet. The hinge mechanism was awesome, VERY strong when up, and solid when closing. The kit was around £1200, plus another £500 for the labour - car was being stripped for a respray so saved on some labour costs.

One of Roy's customers' has an e46 drop top with the conversion and it looks badass. Again, it's a quality kit, and pricey, out of my league (for now).

What WOULD be different is suicide doors! That's never been done yet!

Alex had a car in his sig but I don't know if it was an Ad or his car??

Suicide Doors open from the opposite end to a standard car. Think of the Mazda RX8, that has rear Suicide Doors [ok

[adood84]

RR phantom has a suicide door the back one they open in reverse, this is a pic of the X100 RR , I'm not sure if you guys were kidding or serious so I had to post

[benny boy]

sombody did this to a vauxhall corsa in maxpower :D

[BigFas]

How badass does that door look on the rolls!!!!

[Mikedav]

So I guess I am the only one that thinks lambo doors are about the most tasteless mod ever made?

:confused:

IMO seeing them on anything but supercar exotica is laughable; not only does it look like shite, but its impractical, expensive to do right and will make you look a complete to$$er at Tescos...its a 3 Series, not a Diablo. Sorry but I just don't get the appeal

[Afif]

if i had the money. Id do it in a heartbeat. The fact the doors can open normally AND up appeals to me :D... that way certain situation u can use them regular but for those certain moments when it would look pimp would be heavy :D :D

[adood84]

some more pics for you Fas

You gotta love that Roller, very very imposing and unmistakably pure Rolls Royce [jam If only I had the money [banana

i think the lambo door is practical only when you're parking in supermarket carparks and in a single garage at home.
but alot of the lambo doors doesn't lift up directly, you'll have to push the door out about a 1/4 before you can lift the door up.
i saw one fitted on a civic type R and that's how it works.

RX8-esque suicide doors will be awesome, but how about a sliding door? who's gonna be th first?...maybe not :D

[Raj]

Not a fan of lambo doors as I too think they just don't look right on anything other than a lambo. Suicide doors however, I think would look sweet. And it would deffo be different.

[InvIs Inc]

Check out the lambos (http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?fileid=70F890ED-E52A-4B4F-A87E-63DCB85F9718&kw=32&p=0)

Not my cup of tea personally.
I think unless you actually have a lambo, they just look silly.
Each to their own tho.

[BigFas]

That sliding door trick has already been done on the Alpine demo car X5 ;)

I just enquired about lambo doors with roy before this thread started but not sure if i'll go for it now! the kit is about £900 for the ones that fold up 90 degrees, but after all the negative response's i think i'll leave it!!! :(

[adood84]

I say go for it , why don't you make a poll and see ? thats what polls are for :)

if it's 90 degrees one, then i would go for it, you should go and take a look in person before you decide.
at the end of the day, what ever it's happy for you not for anyone else.
you can't satisfy everyone.

how about the first to have a door like the BMW Z1?
