It's your car and your money, do what you want.

Vocation has nothing to do with it - I am a strong "Yes" vote. I wont be doing it, but would love to see what it looks like.

I'd never put them on our F, but I've seen some of the VERY SMALL garages in the UK. I'd think that they MIGHT have a practical use? (Keeping an open mind)

I like it. Adds an exotic flare. Not for me but I like it.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer. The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?”

Your car, your style.

Dont think you will get many ‘Yeeeeesssssssss!’ on this board though as it’s not a normal thing for the F Type, but why be like everyone else?

Personally, I like pretty much all types of cars, where the owner cares about them and doesn’t use them as a white appliance (trade name for microwaves, washing machines, cookers, refrigerators etc.)

Someone, perhaps Volkswagen, made a hinge that articulated outward to allow for better ingress/egress for a given opening width. I'd like something like that because the car is wide and the doors are long. Tight parking spaces are tight.

Separate question: Should I convert my F-Type to a donk? It'd probably be the only one, although handling would be ... compromised.

I'd kill to have a suicide door, there's none in the market except the RR wraith. Matches the hood opening the "wrong" way too!

That’s not much sillier than bolting on Lambo doors. The worst part of that project, though, would be having to rebadge the car as an Impala.

Impala? I was leaning towards Caprice Classic.

Welllll,

You can get a Lincoln Continental with rear 'Coach Doors".
Doug DeMuro demonstrates them at ~4:50. Send in your deposit NOW before Ford stops selling sedans.

Not a coupe though.

I wonder why manufacturers don't do it on coupes more, it'd make egress that much easier while adding class.

negative - just joking. Takes a lot more than that to offend me; although the lambo doors on an f-type come close. Always love the gullwing Mercedes but they belong on an SL and the lambo doors are so played out that lambo stopped using years ago - they should be called civic doors since the majority reside on Honda’s very dependable hatchback and coupe.
