I have to admit that I usually park diagonally across 2 spaces and open the doors. That way no one opens teir door onto my car. And also, it is not as easy as it looks to get through those windows. I had to re-spray the drivrs door top last year cos I scratched it too .

yea instead of hitting the car next to you, you end up dinging the top of ya door on the roof of the car park lol, seen it happen to many times to want lambo doors:-

Lambo doors look nice, but i do prefer the ordinary doors, easier to get in and out and never thought about them hitting the roof of other cars....lol
well most of the multi story car parks have really low roof's in redditch for some reason, so theirs always some little boy racer going aroung with the top corner or their door all dinged up from wear it hit the roof lol, i tend to find it quite funny lol

You think Lambo at the front and suicide at the rear? That could work!

Don't think I've ever seen a suicide Lambo - that would be cool!

This is an email they sent me about suicide lamo doors.
There are no kits for suicide Lambo doors. These have to be constructed on a one-off basis at considerable cost. We have done a couple for other
companies, but to be honest both cost around £4000-£5000 all in. We might be able to do them a spot cheaper now we know how to do them, but the labour is considerable.

surely if you were to have doors like that the back and front would hit each other if you opened both front and back together,
also wouldnt you need to remove the center post to have suicide doors as the rx8 does not have one, to make it work properly

I voted scissor doors because they are awesome, I could probably afford to install them on my 206 but without an over the top body kit I don't think it would look good. I really hate Suicide doors though... they look terrible!
