http://www.lambodoorkits.co.uk We know it`s not to everyones taste but the art of mofifying is all down to your own ideas and what you are happy with. So here is a few pictures and hopefully Stu will add a projects section shortly so I can post a stage by stage progress so far.

You need to get the rest of the drift kit on mate, but the potential is there. I know someone who can get you a nice front mount for that bloody great gap
Projects section will be up by Monday, just not saying by which Monday.

that gap does annoy me, it was going to be meshed before the intercooler arrives but unfortunately the supplier let me down and sent the wrong mesh as well as indicators. Been a nightmare to be honest as far as suppliers go.

well here goes then, this is what the car originally looked like.
As you can see that wolf sticker had to go straight away, so out came the hair dryer which is the best tool ever invented!

Then as you probably noticed the wheels are shocking although they are rare Advan 18" 3 spokes. Not my cup of tea and had to go. There are many cars that are white and have black rims. I think that on a white car, black wheels just look like an empty space so I continued the theme with some white Innovite 18" Tarmacs

The aggressive look was very important to me and thats why we started with a R34 Drift kit and chopped it up to fit and made the mouth wider and taller.

Now as the business I have is lambo doors, I had to have some installed. Off I went down to Essex to have them fitted. A lot of people think that this modification is either too difficult or looks horrible, well in my opinion on some cars it does look horrible and some cars it`s harder to fit than others. On the Skyline it`s a dodle. He were go with a step by step guide
1/. Remove the wings and loosten off the front bumper and lights. Remove wheel trims and side skirts. The wheels don`t have to come off but was easier access.
