Default Diablo doors on a 3 door Focus

I am thinking about converting my standard doors into Diablo doors on my 3 door Focus, Has anyone or do you know anyone who has already done this.

What were the results.

I already know of a company in Leeds that will either sell the kit or do a full fit.

Can anyonre help.

Why not?

They work by using your original hinges and latch. Basically the door opens 3" or so in the normal way before it swings upwards.

Personally mate I wouldn't.

It's bound to add a load of weight and in 6 months time you may well be embarrased by them. Leave that sort of stunt for the Max Power lot

They look different that`s for sure, but they are heavy, awkward and a pain in the backside to shut properly, as you have to have them lined up `exactly` with the catch otherwise you end up losing paint!!!! This is o.k if you`re careful but it`s the passengers that aren`t used to them that end up `dinging` them.

Personally I think they are more hassle than they`re worth.. IMO

Do it IMHO. Focus isnt about speed is it. So a nicely modified one will be cool. Doors are a better choice than a Jap bumper. and a 60ft rear wing
