Lambo doors
Has anybody attempted to put Lambo doors on their Z4? The idea is in my head and I can’t get rid of it….
I’ve looked locally in Manchester and I can’t find a garage to do it so might have to attempt it on my own.

Do you have limited mobility, or live in an area with very narrow parking spaces?
I’m struggling to think of any other reason why this might be a good idea.

Because he fancies doing it. Why not. Be an interesting project at least.
What I would say though OP is that you would probably struggle to sell it like that.................or at least have a very niche market.
So maybe consider if it is an easily reversible mod.

Been done a few times in the MR2 roadster community. Hinges add a ridiculous amount of weight.

Hahaha, to be fair parking spaces do seem to be getting more narrow. Not sure about you but if I don’t have the door fully open I really struggle to get out of my Z4.
I just think it’s something different and I’m never going to own a
DeLorean!!

I feel like I would never sell this car and it will forever remain a project. I’ve seen some images online of the Z4 with Lambo doors and it does look amazing…. I will keep you posted.enuff_zed wrote: ↑Mon Jan 16, 2023 8:14 pm Because he fancies doing it. Why not. Be an interesting project at least.

I never thought about the weight, thanks for the heads up. I will have a search for MR2’s and see if it’s worth doing or if it’s a massive pain and really affects the car.

DeLorean's have gullwing doors. You would really struggle to put those on a convertible.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Why? Just make the roof part out of soft top material. Admittedly it will be a bit floppy, but you must be used to that at your age mate.

The doors on a Z4 are wide, so yes access isn’t the easiest. Having said that ‘different’ isn’t always better.
Decades ago there was a magazine called ‘custom car’ (or something like that) and IIRC there was a guy called Andy Saunders who made loads of ‘one off’ creations… pretty sure he turned a small speed boat into a road legal car once!
Anyway, I’m sure you won’t let me temper your creative genius
