The wheels suit it so well! And the teal works way better than I would've thought on the silver, looks great.

For the locals, Nick from RMS did my fenders, I absolutely recommend him!

To be completely honest, I really, really don't feel the fender work at all. It looks like they came out very smooth (which is very good), but I would have done the whole fender including the rear corner (which is not pulled on yours) and just moved the bumper tabs outwards a bit - that would give you a way smoother overall look instead of it being so blatantly obvious that the fenders are pulled.

Maybe a thought for later if you ever decide to re-visit the fenders... just pull that rearmost edge to the same level as the rest of the fender and then simply adjust the bumper tabs outward, if need be fabbing up a small spacer for the bumper tabs. Getting the bumper to sit more outward and fitting with the fender is just half an hour of work, at most.

I hope you get what I mean, it's a bit hard for me to explain with english not being my native tongue.

I get what you mean, but it's not as simple as just rolling at that point from what I can tell. It would require quite a bit more to roll last bit out. Work like cutting and modifying, something I just don't have any desire to do. I like how it looks now, that's enough for me.

There's really no good way to pull e36 fenders. No matter what there will be some kind of imperfection unless you rework and repaint.


Looks fucking sexual though Sean

[hi its me alec]

I support this endeavor 100%

Just to clarify, it does not require cutting and modifying. I did it on mine (and from the pictures it looks like our fenders are pulled a similar amount, I just did mine all the way through), it just needs a bit of careful shaping, mostly by hand using a hammer because the fender roller can't really reach this section. Tho, to be fair, tackling this corner will most likely result in a need to repaint the arch, so I understand why one wouldn't want to go to the extra trouble.

But if you're satisfied, all is fine

[SeanDub]
