Hi guys,
I am thinking of doing suicide doors and was just wondering if anyone had any pics and tips on them.
Thanks

Unless they open extremely wide, it will make getting into the back past the front seats tricky. Not trying to stop you though, just something to think about.

yeah go for it man, ive not gotten round to myn yet. A few things i did find when i was looking tho is you NEED to invest in Deadloc door latch's (http://www.thehoffma...o?itemid=dl2550). Normal latch's just dont cut it. obviously because of the nature of them, only a small amount of air needs to get behind the door when your traveling at speed and there goes your door. (their called suicide doors for a reason) But definately a good idea man, they look amazing.

i was thinking of the not long ago, why not look into the mazda rx8 type doors? theyre small, easy to use and quite discreet, and your doors are less likely to blow off lol

Spotted at the Geordie Job 2009. I have no idea how the conversion was done or what type of hinges were used.
