Works well in the downtown parking garage for the spots between the full size SUVs.

If that were mine, a bumper conversion to stainless is required.  Seems like it would look better.

Lol. Even Lambos don't have "lambo doors" anymore.

I think it would be much better if the doors were hinged at the A-pillar instead.

I'm just wondering how the Lambo tilt up doors latch with the conventional Alfa side closing latches

In reply to L5wolvesf :

I may have been involved in installing  a set of those hinges in a Mustang. (Golden rule: He who has the gold makes the rules).

They swing the door out a little bit to clear the latches and then you lift it up into the vertical position. 

It's a big, heavy hinge assembly with a gas strut to assist. To do it properly, the door frame and door need to be reinforced.

If you look close at the first picture, you can see the door gaps are all out of whack.

Is it just me or do the rear wheels look like they have positive camber as well?
