On the Lambo door kits there is a hell of a lot of work to get them to work properly. In most cases you will open the door and hear a massive clunk as your door smashes into your wing leaving a nice dent in it.

So I've heard from a few people anyway...

Yea it is down to who fits it I guess. Its a pretty difficult thing to convert I think, cos the doors and wings jus aren't designed for it. I would recomed getting it profesionally done, at least you'll have some come back if it does fuck up, Turismo charge about £1000 to do it!

Have you thought how you would get out the car if it's parked in the garage?

there was a ctr with scissor doors at BB. it took him about half an hour to close it as the hinge had so much play in it, it just wouldn't sit right lmao

to fit lambo doors properly ull need to weld box section of metal down the A pillar joining the roof to the floor to give it more strength (more so on the pink corsa)

door handle-

best way will be to disconnect it and have it on a solinoid to open it, then the rest opens by hand, with some sort of strut to keep it open

yeah the pink ones gull wings.
these are lambo doors

only a slight difference, but these only go out from the car a little, as apposed to swinging out like the gull wing doors

to put you all right

The yellow ones are Sissicor doors (lambo style)

The pink corsa and merc above are called Butterfly doors

Gull wings feature on the Deloran, and the very old SL Merc's

100% correct, the blue 306 is a good example of scissor doors
