Rolling E30 Fenders

[LuckyHenriksen]

Hey, question for anyone who rolls E30 fenders. What is the best method to do the fronts? Remove the fender liner entirely? Can it be reinstalled very well after eliminating that lip? Just curious.

Would also like to know...

The fronts roll very well, just take your time and use lots of heat, mine cracked but you can't tell. My liners have both survived I didn't even remove them to roll the fenders.

I removed the liner and used a ball peen hammer. If you heat it enough the paint should be fine. Mine came out surprisingly well although I wasn't really worried about messing up my paint.

The front fender liners are rigid enough to stay in without flopping around from not contacting the fender lip, my front fenders are no where near the liner anymore and the worst thing I get is an occasional rub from the liner on the tire

Steven, I has a rollah

Haha no sillies, I should have been more specific. I have a roller here at the shop. Just haven't done any fronts yet, so I wanted to see what you all do about the fender liners. Sounds like I don't need to worry about them at all :)

Thanks for the input

When I did mine I left the liners in as well. Came out really good. Although I think I need a pull now as I get some rubbage with the drop that I am running. :(

I am dreading doing my front fenders. The tire already caught the front passengers side and threw it a little...:sad:

I removed the liner. It is like 3 bolts and 2 nuts. It takes a minute or so.

Installing is just as easy. It doesn't have the lip to help hold it up anymore, but that's what the nuts are for, right? ;)

I removed the liners and used an Eastwood Fender Roller I rented off craigslist. Use lots of heat and take your time. Slow and steady.
