LSD Gull-Wing Doors for VW Scirocco

We're not sure if when they re-launched the Scirocco, Volkswagen engineers had any idea what they will unleash. Since its launch, countless tuning crews have taken the Scirocco and turned it into what each of them though it should be.

Those who don't tune, add. It is the case of LSD, who now has made available gull-wing doors for the Scirocco. For 1,549 euros, the gull-wing doors come complete with a German Technical Control Board certification and the promise to make your Scirocco look...surprisingly well.

"Compared to other retrofit-sets for gull-wing doors, the LSD plates “made in Germany“ impress with a fully developed technology and the highest-possible quality standard. Moreover, a test laboratory accredited by the Federal German Transport Authority confirmed in a side crash-test that the LSD-solution which is patented in Germany is as safe as any serially fitted door," the manufacturer says in a release

This means the fitting of LSD doors do not change the overall crash behavior of the Scirocco. Passenger safety in a side crash is guaranteed according to guideline 96/27/EG by the LSD hinge system.

As you know by now, LSD doors are built to fit the original door attachment points of the dismantled, factory-built plates. Adjustable plates stop doors from opening too far or from falling inwards or downwards when opened. There are no welding points, hence no paintwork is required

The LSD doors are available from LSD or at any specialist dealer.
