Can you alter the doors of the nb series to be scissor doors?

Anyone has? haha

I saw my first scissor door in action on a Merc yesterday.
I reckon they would be amazing on an NB.

You planning on doing this to yours, or just curious?

Yes it would look good but it will be an expensive conversion.

Did you just use "scissor doors" and "look good" in the same sentence.?

Scissor doors do look good... on a Lamborghini
Probably looks really rice on an mx5 imo, but hey if you like it go for it!
I think there are some kits available here?

After seeing pics of mx5s rubber side up I will always have a rollbar and never have scissor doors.

Good point how would you get out if it was upside down :shock:

havent seen a pic of scissor doors on a rolled mx5 but it doesnt take s genius to realise what will happen if it flips on your head. if the windscreen crushes down theres absolutely no way you can get out.

check youtube for the videos if how mercedes designed the gullwing sls. when the car is upside down the hinges explode and throw the doors outward.

Yeah from memory hinges have to explode for it to be legal... Although am I the only one who just jumps over the door instead of opening them?

yeah I am considering but not quite convinced whether it looks nice or not haha but then again if the softtop was on can i still open the door or will it get in the way ?
