SLS Gullwing Powered door mechanism

One of the issues with the SLS is that the Gullwing doors don't have an automated door mechanism for opening and closing the doors.
We have designed an automated powered door mechanism that will remotely open the doors via a key fob and has a switch internally that will close the doors.
The powered door mechanism is almost ready to release and it would be good to hear from any SLS Gullwing owners that would be interested in it?
The indicative price for the kit is £5,000 + fitting.

Very interested. Do the doors open together or separately? Is the modification noticeable? Can it be removed? Do you use the OEM key or do we carry a separate fob?

Didn't know this was an issue. Who knew...

It's not an issue.

Hi Erik,
The doors open separately or together on the new key fob. It is not noticeable as the button on the key fob needs to be held down for the drivers door to open/close and the passengers switch/fob is adjacent to the visor.
Yes it can be easily removed with no sign that the mechanism was installed.
