Question Lambo doors

Hi folks

As its none Subaru related (meaning there on a different car) can anyone tell me what problems usually or can occur with having lambo doors on a car?

Thanks

You look like a complete tit at the petrol station and anywhere that involves getting in and out, don't think even lambo even do lambo doors any more?

Just need a Lotto win or an epic career boost to purchase a Lambo so I can retro-fit conventional door hinges to one whilst quoting "because race car". Certainly put the Ebola virus amongst the hypocondriacs.

The kits are usually shyte....OK for a year or so then, your door won't close porperly, it'll rain in, and the bearings in the hinges will wear/collapse/fall apart meaning the door catches the body work when you close. Also on some cars the metal on the A-pillars is sometime too weak to support the extra leverage so the metal tears and the door falls off...Classy.

One customer with his S5 learnt that the hard way, and got a soggy bluetooth unit that lives deep under the carpet beneath driver's seat, in turn that killed the whole MMI system (in English: posh car radio)....a £900 part....plus loom and connectors (as they were fecked too from corrosion)

Sure, but apart from all that, they do look the bomb

Not when there's so many ***** on here that as soon as there's something they don't like they have to try and be little/slate the ideas of the person that wants to do something different than be boring and follow the crowd

Oh and the car is already done that I'm thinking about and apparently it was an expensive set up and not a cheap Ebay item

Go Google a VW based kit car called a "Nova". The whole roof and windscreen lifted up so you could get in and out. Or as I found out, DIDN'T lift up so I could get out.. I had to toot the sad little horn to get rescued or I'd still be there to this day.
The only really cool lift up doors I came across was in an Ultima Chevrolet, which caused a right stir when I popped the door up at traffic lights on a stinking hot day with no functioning air con.
