I just see big numbers at the end! Think I'd rather plough the money into my engine and setting the beast up for the track!

Sorry for the late answer, been a way for a few days on buisniss related matters.
The whole setup for lambo doors would go around 999€ which is about 10k SEK ("Swedish One Crown") :P

Think i'll skip it or make it myself (good thing to have engineers in the family with brains) ^^

Not worth the "comfort" of having those doors.
And the pain in the ass of replacing the shocks that keep the doors up is probably a pain in itself.

The hinge is built into the side impact beam in the door. It's all alloy. You would be massively reducing the safety if you did not do it carefully.

I can take a pic of my bent side impact beam if you want. :rolleyes:

If you want to do this, just buy the Koppold door system.

Please do :) I actually like to see what happens to the car if accidents were to happen (just so i know what i'm up for in worst case scenario)
