Watch your speed - It's virtually impossible to pick it out of the carpet if it gets blown off the table.

Parking wouldn't be too much of an issue, it doesn't look to use much space out the side, just above, and even then it wouldn't be likely to hit any ceilings, unless you are parking in Hobbiton.

I'd expect the biggest problem to be the weight of the door.

It looks like a shitty dodgy job done at home. Scissor doors are cool except they shouldn't use hinges like that. Use proper door hinges and hydrolic lifters or whatever they are called and it would be better. Imagine trying to hold that door up whilst getting in.

they are cool, but considerably heavy and still not complete lambo doors. Lambo doors never tilt towards the side at all, they may come out a little, but they always go up completely vertical..... unless you have a gallardo, a lambo without lambo doors.. what a rip.

you could use gas shocks, like the ones in the boot to hold em up.. could attach them with rivets..

What are you all talking about? Those guys have done a top job. Lambo couldnt of done better. I'm all for un-painted, chunky, house door hinges hanging off my car. All it would need next is a Type R badge and a 10" cannon. Nothing on the road could touch you. Nothing!!

Good grief! :o
That looks like crap!
There's no way that could be legal...
Plus it's great to see that they covered up the first drill hole mistakes! NOT!

What's on top of the wing mirror?

I'm glad it's not a Staz, otherwise someone would be killed!

If you're going to do it, then do it properly and get it professionally done.
Or buy a Lamborghini, or any other car with scissor style doors...
A Toyota Sera is reasonably cheap.

They better be strong components as the Starion doors aren't light.
