Rolling fenders with a magazine????

Yea, but everywhere I read suggests rolling over cutting with fenders like that cause you could cut open a cavity leaving the inside walls exposed to oxidation and other bad stuff..

this is true, you can seal it back up though, some people put silicone.

On the e46 the lip of the fender is quite thick, but you don't have to cut it all the way to the edge of the fender, if you leave a small lip it wont split and you can then roll that flat.

Roll then cut......

This is how I rolled my fenders..

You can roll your fenders with a jack, heat gun, and a hammer. You don't actually use the hammer to hammer in the lip, you'll use the wooden handle. You jack up the car to make the wooden handle of the hammer fit between the tire and the fender. Get a heat gun and warm up your fender. Bend in the lip and do it in stages, it's best to start from the center of the fender. Go half way once and then bend the lip all the way in...

Here are some pictures of what it looks like. I didn't use a heat gun because the car is going to get painted anyways. As you can see my lip is totally flat.

Bad picture but you get the idea..

e46 fenders are damn near impossible without having them cut

e46's are only hard to roll coz of the sealer, did you not remove it? Other than that they are pretty similar to most other arches, a little thicker but not much...

Skateboard truck and wheel is where it's at for pull/rolling, I've used most techniques except for the proper rollers coz I'm too cheap and it's the one imho

if you roll guards with something that isn't even and smooth what will your guards end up like?
