   Save up and buy a rolls royce or similar if you want doors that open that way soo badly, otherwise it just looks tragic.

   Why are they actually called suicide doors? Never got this...
   
   They do look awesome though... On things like Rollers. On a Saxo it will look odd and serve no purpose.

    Think its because there was a chance of the door unlatching and getting ripped off or someone trying to grab it to close it and getting sucked out the car aswell

    They're not trying to offend you, just trying to help you see that there are better things to spend money on. Chuck the money you were planning to spend in modifying the 1.1 into savings then buy a more worthy car with it in a while.
    
    If you put things like suicide doors on the car and other "out there" mods into an old 1.1 saxo you will become a laughing stock other than to your "max power" groupies.
    
    I had loads of wild ideas of what to do with my 1.1 many years ago and I am so glad I didn't do it. A 1.1 will turn into a money pit which you can't sell when you're sick of it!
