XKR with vertical doors
I just saw a '09 grey XKR with vertical/butterfly doors. I thought it was very cool. Definitely was an eye catcher as there were several people taking pictures and gawking over it. Does anyone in this forum have vertical doors on their XKR? If so, I'd definitely be interested in how they stack up or if the're any issues with them. I must say again, this Jag looked awesome with those doors!!!!!

Hi Ron,
Just to be clear, in no way am I recommending that site (or gull wing door modifications). However, they do show a photo, which is interesting in itself, and although they only list the "XK8" they show it with a drop down menu listing model years through 2010, and I would assume that those 2007-2010 models are XK's which might have doors workable on XKR's - but who know what they really offer. But if someone is seriously interested in gull wings they might be a good place to contact (along with a few others you can Google).

I have to agree with the impracticalness. I have them on an '08 Corvette (came that way-bought it used), and although they look cool when they are open, they are a PIA to get in and out. Think about how you are going to maneuver getting out when the door is up. Just my 2 cents. I am actually looking at getting them back to original specs.
