I dunno if I'd like it either,
tho there are times I wish my doors didn't swing so far out.. it's tricky in tight spots.

I don't think it would look bad since the Elise is an exotic. They are so rare, that people would probably assume it came like that stock.

IMO lambo doors are the second highest form of "faking the funk"......this would be the worst:

I always think it looks odd to watch someone swing it out. In my opinion, the body lines on the car suggest that the door should swing upwards. Look at the picture below and try to forget everything you know about our cars. Check out the sloping curve of the door and maybe you'll see my point.
 The first time I showed my designer friends the Exige, they all said "Shouldn't the doors swing up?" I always assumed it was because of the Lambo legacy or whatever, but maybe it's because vertical doors make the most aesthetic sense? Who knows.

It is possible "Lambo" doors would look amazing... however I am on Serebo1's side that the door hinges are a true work of automotive art.
The biggest downside to them though is that they cannot be opened on an upturned car thereby locking the occupants in (not that I ever want to see an upturned Elise either!!) and this is one reason you do not see Lambos racing. |

EXIGE ADDICT

People can do what they want to there cars but i think lambo doors belong on lambos, + the hinges to make that happen are really heavy and i don't know how you would bolt the hinges to the frame, i'm betting that it took alot of work to make that happen.

I wish I had 2 pairs of hands so I could give this idea 4 thumbs down.
Want a Lambo with Lambo doors? Buy a Murcie or Diablo, but for the love of all that is good, please don't do this to a Lotus.

Maybe not since it doesn't boast big hp numbers or whiz-bang straight line performance like an SRT-4 or Evo.
Also, for the guy who asked: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/images/smilies/puke.gif |
