Default Lambo/vertical door hinge kits for coupes

I know some, if not most, will probably chastise me but I'm toying with the idea of putting Lambo style hinges on one of my coupes. I just love the look of them.

Does anyone know of a kit that will either bolt straight on or with a little modification?

Also anyone who has done it who has pictures/videos?

Thanks Guys

Thanks thefargo. Found plenty on Ebay too.

Hoping someone has done this before & can share the experience/photos etc.

May even build my own based on other bolt on designs.

Thanks Raptor.

They dont seem to go back far enough but I might give them a call. They may be able to recommend something.

Cheers.

There was a build on the forum that had these doors. Zakphoto was the member building the car. The thread can be searched but the photos aren’t available due to photo bucket.
There’s a quick start up video on YouTube under protourer xb coupe. It briefly shows the hinges, without any detail.

I think, from memory, that there was a guy on Aussie Coupes who tried/did this on his Landau. Pretty sure his user name was Lokjaw

Better check with vehicle licensing first if it's for road use they might not be ADR compliant depending on the year your car was made, and you may get knocked back on a roadworthy.
