Clubman double double real doors

I know this is a crazy though, but how hard would it be to put clubman rear doors on an R53? I think they are super cool looking, plus the hatch doesn't like to stay open in the cold, and I live in Illinois where it gets cold.

Very very hard, Have you done body work allot , custom fab work? It would be cool, but allot of work. Hinges as on the side , and total different design. Also the rear door i believe are wider then the R53.

New struts for the hatch a lot easier and cheaper.

That's pretty much what I figured, but every time I see those double doors I just think "DAYUM those are cool."
