Fender Flare Thread

[UNHCLL]

yeeerrp... except that car probably doesn't need them for those wheels, but threw them on for attention, like all the other untasteful stuff on it.

You realize that Eric lives in Germany and takes the car to the Nurburgring fairly often, right? And "those wheels" with real sized tires will require flares on a non-M e30 chassis.

;)

My inspiration:

I know the owner of this car through a norwegian forum.
It sports a e38 v12 engine, fully mappable ECU, supertrap exhausts, 850CSi 6-speed manual, Z3 M Coupe running gear and brakes, fuel cell, and so on and so on.

Touring 2-door?

It's a one-off, and a hack-job at that.

Unfortunately not a one off (but a hack job for sure). They were built in the Netherlands using A1 VW golf hatches. Sort of like the Bauer vert hack hack jobs and not official BMW.

[Jand3rson]

Yeah, I think they only built a very small handful of them.

That is the common conception, but I run 17"x8" et20, 235/40/17 tires and I have rolled my fenders. I put some good pressure outwards on the sheetmetal with the fender roller and created some flare, but i clear with no rubbing at all. Pics of my track car which rolls on this setup:

I think his name is Alexi. I met him a few years ago at Tom's house one time, when the car was white. He had one of the first M30 swaps I'd ever seen.

Back then he had the white car with the zender flares. Then he moved to that color, saw it sorta recently at a PMS meet. Car looks a lot better now!

I worked with him last summer, we've gotten to be good friends. He told me yesterday though that he can't make it to the picnic this year, kind of a bummer.

Right now the interior is totally removed, but the exterior is coming along. I'm supposed to help him get the mtech 2 rear bumper on in the next few weeks, then we'll finish smoothing out the flares.

I run 17x8 et22 with 235/40/17 all around and a decent roll. No rubbing exceot for full lock out of the driveway because I'm pretty slammed.

Thank god that 2 door touring is not normal. I would have to start my search all over again for a wagon!
