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...

      Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
