R31Nismoid Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 1) They are illegal until the are engineered, any modification is. 2) Consult the engineer before you start any modification and they will tell you what they will require to approve it. There is a link in the sticky (top of this section) 3) Of course it will, its a modification and you must tell insurance companies about it and thus pricing can go up. 4) They are pure wank factor. It makes getting in/out of the car a bit of an effort also if its a daily Tight car spots, some underground carparks you can forget about it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/92127-lambo-doors/#findComment-1660730 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[WLDCRD] Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 before you do it, i suggest you talk to someone who has it. the 3 people that i know, say its a waste of money. doors are heavy to lift and the struts wear out.

saff_cossie Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I have seen these on a few cars in the UK "gull wing doors". Definately wouldnt bother, leave it to the manufacturers where they came from factory. There is a calibra in Perth with them I think. Do a search, you might find it. Think it is dark blue/purple. He may be able to advise. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/92127-lambo-doors/#findComment-1660821 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Wolf 3D is also a great alternative to Power fc. It all depends where you get your car serviced and who you trust to tune your ecu properly and safely.
