personally i think the zuki original doors look way beter, but i think if you colour code them with the red on the car it would look even better, but ive never really liked the look of the half doors, the the original ones make the car look more road worthy so its like a normal suzuki but with alot more ability...

Looks good! Keep them and run them when the suns out next year! Every zuki owner should have set of half doors! It's awesome cruising about with them fitted in the summer, makes it feel like your driving around in a buggy :lol:

I think il keep them on for now then. It's much nicer to drive with your arm resting lower down, hate it up height on the standard door. Problem with bucket seats though I suppose.

Hopefully tomorrow night I can start to fit my fully floating rear axle kit, I have got all the stuff just need to find the time to do it. Hopefully will be going back to Slindon or Boxgrove this month with a bit of luck.

With the fully floating kit I can give it some abuse and really see what it can do, looking forward to that :)

If I ever get hold of an SWB convertible I'll be making a set of half doors for the summer like Scottie said.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Im going with keep. Looks tidy with the half door fitted. I would probably just paint them same colour as body.
