Another Dared to be different customer

We were working long hours last week installing LSD doors on to a Forum members ST show car.

I am sure that these not will not suit everybody’s tastes – however they are different all the same!

Not really a DIY fitment either as they involve cutting the wings, shortening the washer bottle and extending each door wiring loom by 1 metre.

The LSD hinges are top quality and work very well once set up properly.

Nice mod, if your into that type of thing. I Can't help but be concerned about the weight of the ST's doors, and how quickly those things would go under the weight / How quickly it would batter you in the head when you got out!!!

Never the less though, nice mod, very different indeed.

Echo same sentiment, great for a SHOW car, otherwise ridiculous.

Looking at the aperture once the doors are up, it actually looks LESS accessible - Gary, are the doors at their maximum 'opening' position there?
