    I rolled that inside lip in. But I still rub badly right where the fender connects to the bumper. So I ordered some gold quick releases so I can cut out the connection and hopefully pull my fenders out. But I was gonna order set some camber bolts to achieve a little camber in the front. My fender roller won't fit because my car is to low. It won't roll my fenders, at the lowest point the roller is about 3 inches to high.

          Over fenders maybe? I don't know the fiesta's aftermarket. Might be worth fabricating some

              Ordered some SPC EZ-Cam camber bolts yesterday so i can get my front caber matching. I might have to buy two sets, we will see when i get an alignment.

              My 3D Carbon Body Kit also shipped earlier this week, on monday. So when that comes in i'm going to rattle can it to match my paint.

              Also ordered my Quick Release Fasteners. Those come in on Friday.

              This weekend im going to be cutting out the brackets inside my fender that are destroying my tire. I don't like cutting my car up, or drilling holes in it. But i need to to stop the rubbing and install the fasteners. So wish me luck!

              Also, as you can see above, i removed my rear seat and made a false floor. I was thinking of maybe installing a bracket to hold my hookah so it can be a little hookah chill spot back there. At shows, meets, or stuff like that we can hangout and smoke hookah. Just need to figure out a way to secure the hookah back there without compromising the folding ability of the false floor. Because I do need to get under there in case of a flat tire to get to my spare, and this is my daily. So any pointers would be appreciated. Just wanted to give an update!

                  No. I go to school an hour away from my parents house, so I have an apartment by my school. None of my tools or my jack is there, since I would be forced to do work in the parking lot which is a no go. I go home tonight, so I plan on doing all that work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Will definitely get a smaller tire for the front next time around. Any suggestions?

                  Will post updates as I do work this weekend.

                    Pretty cool so far!

                    I take it when you want Rotiform you want the BLQ? As for tyre size id say go with 205/40. I've got 17x8 BLQ on my mk1 focus and run 205/40, they stretch nice I have ohtsu fp7000, cheap but decent tyre.

                    Oh and over fender is American for bolt on arch flares.

                      I love a nice BLQ and NUE.
                      Yea I'll probably run 205/40 or 205/35 next.
                      Also, I'm from America haha. I just call them fender flares. That's what I thought he was talking about, never heard someone say over fender before.

                        Not even going to lie, this looks a lot better than I thought it was going to.

                        Great job! Keep going!

                          Thanks man! When I bought the car I was like "Oh man, what did I do..." But then slowly it started to come together and not look so bad. Overall I'm happy with it so far. Still much more I wanna do. It's my first real build. So it's all new to me. But again, thanks a lot. I appreciate it!

                            Don't have many photos, because once I started moving I didn't stop.

                            Buuuuuuut....

                            Yesterday my 3D Carbon body kit came in. I attempted to paint the front lip, but stopped once the primer went on. My cousin was painting it, and once he started spraying the primer, a certain area on the lip would start to crack. The primer coat would crack, not the lip itself ofcourse. So I'm just going to sand it down and retry it. I don't know what that could be.

                            Next, I took my wheels of, and took s Dremel to the inside of my fenders and cut the brackets that were rubbing my tires away. I had to cut basically the entire bracket off. So I had to install the quick releases. On the drivers side I had to install a metal lip that sticks out so the fender and the plastic bumper stay flush with eachother, since my fenders are pulled out.



                            I did an awful thing though, the angles of the quick release are different. The drivers side is more of a downward angle, while the passenger is a more straight angle. Yea I was rushing and messed up. So I am going to drill s new hole slightly lower on the passenger side and just move it down to make them look more symmetrical. To cover up the hole of the old spot, I'll just get a 1/4 bolt to put in their and paint the head the same color as my car so it won't look to off. And if it does, I'll just throw a sticker over it hahah. But more work to be done today. I'll try and take more pictures.

                              You could probably grind the bolts flush, little bondo, primer and paint a little farther down the road. The quick release is a good idea though.

                                That's a good idea. Yea they help so much. My ballasts for my Halos are behind my bumper along with so much other stuff. And now I can take it off in under 30 seconds. It's great.
