Mercedes CL with LSD Wing Doors

The current Mercedes-Benz CL Class was launched back in the autumn of 2006, and the two-door luxury coupe is quite the looker. With a range of safety features, its new Mercedes style, and performance to boot this coupe seems to have it all.

LSD doors from Germany know better though and now offer instant street cred by installing a set of wing doors. The wing doors can be installed on the original door mouting points and are tested for safety with side-crash test and have the German TUV parts certificate.

The LSD wing doors open outwards by a 30 degree angle and then swing upwards, without any great exertion. According to the press release the doors are 'ideal for all fans of unusual tuning' and we happen to agree.

Press release:

  • Security proved by side-crash test /with German TÜV parts certificate
  • Car-specific solution made in Germany
  • with GRS and GRS+, offering more safety and more precise opening and closing of the door
  • To be mounted directly at the points of the original doors

By mounting LSD wing door hinges, the actual Mercedes CL luxury coupé becomes the absolute looker. The wing doors hinges are available with immediate effect.

The LSD wing door hinges for the Mercedes CL feature the new GRS+ (Guided Roller System). It offers an adjustment possibility with the roller guidance of the roller bearing integrated in the hinges and additional stability through a catch which that locks in fully-opened condition. This results in more safety and more precise opening and closing of the door.

LSD door fittings come with a German TÜV certificate certifying that the LSD wing doors meet all safety standards.

Compared to other retrofit sets for wing doors, the LSD fittings made in Germany are more impressive due to their absolutely sound engineering and the highest-possible standard of quality. In addition, a testing laboratory accredited by the German Kraftfahrtbundesamt (Federal motoring bureau) proved in a side-crash test, that the LSD-solution patented in Germany is as secure as a door assembled in the series production. This means: the occupants safety is guarateed by the LSD door fittings in a side-crash complying with rule 96/27/EG. LSD makes a quick and easy installation possible, without any welding or repainting necessary. Another convincing feature is their perfect fit, thanks to the ability to make three-dimensional adjustments. The LSD door fittings are mounted directly at the points where the original doors were removed. With the added fittings, the otherwise unchanged original doors open first outward and then gently glide upward and stop. Adjustable buffers prevent the doors from being opened too wide or from falling downward or inward when open. A simple grip is all it takes to close the door. On the one hand, the LSD solution allows you to open the door in a outward motion with an aperture angle of approx. 30°; on the other hand, it also allows you to swing the wing door upward, and all that without any great exertion. The LSD wing doors lend any car a sensational look and are the ideal solution for all fans of unusual tuning and show cars. The LSD door fittings are available from LSD or special dealers.
