gullwing / lambo door kit
Does anyone know a reliable brand or place where I can get a Lambo door kit for the 220 ? I've gone through the forums but could not find anything.
Has anyone tried this on a 220? I'd be curious to get some opinions / experiences before I go ahead.
Easy / difficult ? I've always wanted it, but I don't know the consiquences...
Thanks in andvance for any inputs / suggestions / warnings (?)

I dont think anyone has?if you wanna get creative then more power to ya but honestly, those kits are cheap and those style doors only look good on a long bodied two door car.

let's see.. If the price works out and the install is as straightforward as the guy says it it is, I'll get it done.. My 220's a keeper for the next 2-3 years so I thought why not.. You only live once huh Plus it's compltely reversable...

Don't Do It!
The Lambo Doors on a Mercedes Sedan would not be a very good idea. I have a friend who did them with an S type Jaguar and they caused a big bend in the front of the body when a guy at the car wash open the door normally too hard and fast.
In other words they need to be pulled out slightly and then up.
Secondly, you would not have as much room to get in and out with the Lambo doors, and it would probably mess the vacuum system up too.
These are not the type of cars you want to do the Lambo door kit on!

all i can imagine on a 4 door car would be the back passengers trying to open their door while the front passenger is opening theirs and a hilarious trip to the body shop that would follow.
