See, that's what I'm talking about! We get a couple NJ, Mass, and Philly guys to go in together and buy one fender roller; we all meet up and have a fender rolling barbeque 8)

This what a group is supposed to do. I'm on the way out to the airplane, in next ten minutes. If someone wants to contact Nico on a price check for one. I will do the transport of it.

Cheers Greg

for future reference, how do you go about rolling your fenders with a baseball bat or a piece of pipe? it seems like it would be difficult to get enough leverage to bend the metal.

Greg, I PM'ed Nico.....so I am just waiting for a response. I'll let you know....

hotghias...I know there are many tech articles floating around about how to do it with a baseball bat, did you try the search yet?

I used a wood bat on mine... just jack your car up so you can fit the bat in, wedge it between the tire and fender, and watch the paint crack!

ahh, can't you use a blow dryer to help the paint from cracking or something??

you're supposed to use a blow dryer or heat gun to prevent that.

[Digitalwave]

It's still very likely that it will crack.

Bah, fender roller/breaker bar for free 99 :P
I used a metal pipe.

You rolled your fenders with bottlecaps?

The fronts rubbed :P

I'd be interested in sharing the fender rolling tool too.

Keep us updated! :D

[M-technik-3]

Looks like I will buy one, and front the cost and recoup it on a few events. I saw it would be $7.50 a car and we could recoup the cost of buying it easy.

[bwanac]

Yeah, Greg you are the man!!!

7.50 a car what-now? I cant wait to roll my fenders! Even though they dont really need to be. Maybe I need some 225...

we just used one to flair the fenders on an M3, not roll, FLAIR.
After using the tool, I will never ever consider the "baseball bat" method.

The tool wont be rented out either. Sorry.
Try and rent it from UUC. Tirerack also rents one IIRC.

What is the name of the tool you used to flair the fenders on the m3? I really want to do something like that on the e30.
