    e30 4 door wide body build help please

    Hi everybody, i'm new here and was wondering if these rear fenders would fit an e30 4 door (with some cutting and fiberglassing of course) http://dtmfiberwerkz.com/access/styl...ers-p-331.html

    I have an 88 325 4 door btw. I have to keep the 4 door due to circumstances. I'm planning on using these rear fenders and stretching/rolling the stock fronts (or making custom ones?)

    You can make just about anything fit with a lot of work. I think it will look really out of place if you just run the wide box M3 style flares on the rear and just stretch the fronts. Big difference in widths.
    Just a little project im working on

      the front fenders are bolt on, which is the easiest part. I can't imagine doing the work for the rears, on a 4 door especially, and then not doing the fronts..

      also, the fitment of those particular panels is going to be horrid. be prepared.

              Are you any good at working with sheet metal? This is basically what I'm planning for my widebody job:






              I'm sure you could work it so that the fourth door remains functional (but only opening from the inside, the logistics of extending the door handle by 2+" would be a bitch) but getting everything right is probably gonna be a bitch

                I'm not too good with sheet metal :( I was gonna use fiberglass and stuff like that. I suck at welding :(

                  Unless you're a baoss with fiberglass, I'd get real nice & familiar with welding sheet metal - it's probably gonna be your best bet for making something nice.
