What Col said. Assuming it's to remain a street car, check for legality before you spend a cent.

If you absolutely must go ahead with it - and I really hope you don't, personal preference I guess but I hate scissor doors - then places that handle Autosalon-style cars would likely be your best bet. Check any Hot4's/Autosalon/Fast4's/whatever mag for feature cars with the body mods you're looking for - there will usually be contact details for the shops that have done the work alongside the story. Doing it properly won't be cheap though.

It is illegal unless u can get an autorised engineer to install and approve them in written form, but because the are considered dangrous according to the government it is doubtful u can get it legal since no engineer will approve it. but u can put them on and hope you dont get done..... i know that taking them off is much harder then putting them on. doesnt matter if its bolt on or not you need to have it welded to ensure it sits in the right place.

You can get these online and shipped otherwise hit up some body shops i know some can order them in.

I thought Lambo first invented sizzor doors so you could reverse their stupid designed car and actually see where your reversing (open the door and stick your head out) without having the worry of a horizontally opening door.

It was easier for Lambo to do this then redesigning the whole rear of the car.

Sizzor doors on Lambo = Stupid manufacturer after thought.

Sizzor doors on anything else = EPIC FAIL

Your almost right...

It was actually cause the wheel track was so wide, it enabled people to park a lambo in a stnadard car space and still get in and out easily...

This however didnt help the normal cars parked either side and would probablly end up with door dints cause thy were so fat*...

*fat = wide... not phat or awesome...

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
