VDCAVANT06 is the Vertical Doors, Inc. vehicle-specific Vertical Door Conversion Kit for listed 2006-2018 Aston Martin Vantage applications. It retains the original front doors and creates the traditional VDI movement: each door opens outward first, then raises vertically. This conversion is also commonly called a Lambo door kit or scissor door kit.
Give the VH-Generation Vantage a More Dramatic Entrance
The 2006-2018 Aston Martin Vantage has compact grand-touring proportions, a long hood, and a cabin set close to the rear axle. Vertical door movement adds a distinctive presentation while retaining the original doors, glass, latches, and interior panels.
Each converted door opens outward first for access and then raises vertically. The motion works with the car's low Coupe or Roadster profile, but exact V8, V12, GT, GTS, AMR, and limited-edition configurations should be confirmed before purchase.

2006-2018 Aston Martin Vantage Fitment
VDI lists VDCAVANT06 for 2006-2018 Aston Martin Vantage applications and specifically names V8 Vantage, GT, GTS, and AMR configurations. Coupe, Roadster, V8, V12, and limited-production derivatives can have meaningful body and equipment differences, so confirm the exact model and body style before ordering.
Fitment is based on the exact VDI application, model year, body style, and front hinge area. A shared engine, chassis family, trim name, or appearance package does not by itself guarantee compatibility.

How the Vertical Door System Works
The conversion replaces the factory hinge system while retaining the original doors. Open each door outward until it reaches the hinge system's stopping point, then raise it vertically. The included gas shocks assist with the door's weight during the lifting motion.
Correct installation and adjustment are essential for panel clearance, door alignment, latch operation, wiring clearance, and consistent opening and closing.
Installation Requirements
The VDI hinge system is designed around the vehicle's factory hinge area. Bolt-on describes the vehicle-specific mounting design; it does not mean the installation is modification-free. Installation commonly requires body-panel removal, non-visible trimming or clearance work, wiring management, and careful final alignment.
Before loosening or removing the original hinges, use 2-inch painter's tape to mark the door's factory position on the vehicle. Place tape across the door and adjacent body at several reference points, including near the hinges and firewall, then draw matching alignment lines across the tape. These marks help the installer return the door to its original horizontal and vertical position.
If you are not experienced with door alignment, body-panel removal, wiring clearance, trimming, and hinge adjustment, use a qualified installer. Read the complete vehicle-specific instructions before beginning.
Before You Order
Confirm the exact vehicle application before purchasing, especially if the vehicle has aftermarket bodywork, modified fenders, previous collision repair, or an uncertain body configuration. Review the current shipping policy and refund policy before ordering and before beginning installation.

“Just an awesome experience today at Vertical Doors! This company takes care of their customers! Thank you for making our son's day. You all rock!”
“Vertical Doors Inc is the original name in the game when it comes to Lambo Doors. I had the pleasure of buying their kit for my 2014 C7. I highly recommend getting the install done by them as the process is quite extensive! They had me in and out in one day. No door gaps to speak of and the hinges feel smooth and strong. Don't try doing the kit at home, let the pros do it for you. They also gave me a deal on some beautiful true carbon fiber skirts made in house! Shout out to their sibling company California SuperCoupes.”
“I was having trouble with my C8 Door after a terrible attempt at install by another company (Eikon Motorsports). I called Vertical Doors and Danny was able to be a hugeeeee help. He got me in right away, told me exactly what the problem was, knowledgeable, extremely responsive, and communicated with me the whole way through. I cant say enough of the team there. I wish I would have come to them in the first place.”
Ordered my 2018 SS Camaro kit during the COVID crises. The team worked hard to get my kit to me during this critical time. I am so pleased with the new look. It took my Camaro to a new level. Great craftsmanship and best kit anywhere. - TJ from Florida
