I think a set of bouncy hydraulics would complete the look

"Is this a wind-up, or are you seriously considering fitting them to your car? "

I am considering them on my car but not the wife car,,, I like them More so then some AfterMarket,,,Spoiler, Wing, side sills and All the chrome trinkets that some people like...

Vertical Doors Inc. out of California,,, from what I researched is by far the best... IT IS A BOLT ON... others require drilling and some pillar modifications....

I would rather drive down the road in a stock looking Sleeper and have people say or think to themselves WOW thats a nice car... Jaguar made a beautiful coupe and that one looks perfect....

Rather then have people say or think to themselves WOW thats a nice car... Jaguar made a beautiful coupe and that one looks perfect.... AND that Idiot mucked it up with Aftermarket Goobly Gook...

The Doors are functional and Not Obvious unless you lift them while opening... I could see some one with a difficulty getting in and out Benefitting from them... makes getting in and out Much Easier...

And for that Numbskull that seems to follow us around and squeeze right next to us after WE PARK... you can get in and out NO DINGS...

"I want to see pictures of Lambo doors on your XKR. "

Looking Everyday I want another 2005 Coupe low miles and I saw one in St. Petersburg Florida Slate grey ivory interior blacked out Sepang wheels and Recaro race seats but it has 80,000 miles and he wants $22,000 too many miles for the price and for me....

Another at Gaudins Jaguar,,, 05 black on black with 70,000 miles for $21,900 with 18" wheels not a fan of black interior and 18" wheels

Everyday I see the wife's car I say to myself... Self you are going have a tough time topping this package and price...

We will see there are a lot of Blue Heads here that talk their husband into getting them a new car and selling their low mile,,, old one,,,,, just a matter of time

I will put those on mine... Pretty sure of that...

Personally, I wish Lambo doors were mandatory on all cars except mine. I'd even put them on my car if I was required to comply with the law. I think they look ghetto, but they would prevent about 99% of door dings.

Yes, I am Very familiar with all the cars that came with unique doors...Believe me or not, people only like unique doors when the car was designed with them. It's your car so do what you want, but mostly only kids and the ricer group will admire your doors. Just my opinion. Good Luck if you go for it though.

You might have a good point there. The previous owner of my XK8 sold it due to a back problem, he said it was simply too difficult for him to get out of. I doubt that he considered modifying the doors.

" It's your car so do what you want, but mostly only kids and the ricer group will admire your doors. Just my opinion."

Well the Only time they can tell is IF I LIFT the door If I open normally they will never know... So functionally they work when parking is tight or you want the opportunity to get IN and OUT EASIER

Wings,,, Spoilers,,, Side Sills,,, Air Damn's,,, and all the Ghetto Chrome IHMO RUINS THE LINES of a Beautiful Car,,, And they are Visible 24/7 You see them on the car when it's Parked,,, Driving and in your nightmares... I don't intend to offend anyone but I like the JOB that Jaguar did with the body style,,, Hell I even like the Antenna,,, Just might like to the save the door from DINGS and get in and out easier...

Probably would rarely use them unless I am squeezed in parking or Showing the car...

Vertical Doors are hiding and not Obvious unless you make it KNOWN
