    Fiberglass was used for the 09 Challenge made the similar way you are looking by taking a mold from the stock fenders (you can see the old setup on the right sidebar)...

    This site is created to document the progress of me and my cousin's 1988 BMW 325IS turbo built exclusively for the GRM challenge. It will begin with all of the older pics from the build and Challenge competition in 2007, and continue with the car in its current state of progress.


    I like the way the Condor Speed Shop ($2010 GRM Challenge) car came out even better though...

    finally found it from your thread yoshi. Going to widebody my truck project. Seems like the cleanest cheapest way to do it.

    A build diary tracking the process of turning a 1987 BMW 325is into a serious trackday car.

    it was fleece or something. Def not spandex. You are thinking of the Grassroots E30 IIRC.

    ok, i must be stupid. Wheres the damn thread where the guy used spandex? He made spacers and stretched spandex over it to make a smooth flare for the rear. HELP!!

    Me? The fronts are genuine M3 fenders cut and expended out ~1 inch. Rears are the fiber glass replicas you can get from sweden or bulgaria or wherever sells those cheap ones. But I modified those out another inch. The rears are peaky and still need some work. The fronts look stock.
