    Just put on a new fender (pictures!)

    This was my old fender


    Here's when I just slaped it on without bolting it down (Doesn't fit for some reason)


    Here you can see that the bottom of the fender didn't match up right so I had to use a hammer on the acctual body :shock:


    The vailence didn't match up to the fender, but I'll pound on that laters


    After some more beating, it turned out really good; I can stand to look at my car's right side again! :D.
    The only thing I wished it had was that blue pin-stripe :(



    I had to bend and pound untill everything lined up perfectly :D


    All I need is that chrome side bumper and it's all gravy :o

      I'd be more concerned about the wear pattern of your tires than the fender. Do you have positive camber?

          Nice work. Where did you get the rubber strip of the fender that mates to the body? It's supposed to be there to act as a sealant I believe.

          Or did you reuse the old one?

            Are you talking about the missing molding?
            That broke off when my tyre poped on the freeway. :D

            I'll go to the yard tomarrow and pocket one 8)

            Here's just some of the e30 I saw there. (There were close to 15 at the place)


            EDIT:
            Oh! Your talking about the bumper cover!
            Yeah, I just reused it..
            It still isn't lined up right as you can see from the last picture, but I'll MAKE it work :twisted:

            BTW: I wieghed the fender and it was 7lbs exactly.

              Aftermarket or OEM fender? Aftermarket tend to be crappy with alignment.

                  It's most likey OEM.
                  Is there a way to check?

                  the stuff will never stick again; it's a one time use only :)
                  I might go back and use some glue if I'm really bored, but they're no reason for me to do it.

                    Should have a OEM sticker on top like the one that had the VIN number listed on the original.
