Front e92 fender pulling...

zsapphire7 · 08-31-2010, 12:06 PM

Does anyone in the bay area know where i can go to get this done? Im okay with having to repaint the fenders. They gota be repainted anyways

khaye1 · 08-31-2010, 12:32 PM

you know they're plastic, right?

MrChessy · 08-31-2010, 12:43 PM

heat gun, bam!

zsapphire7 · 08-31-2010, 12:46 PM

yes... i know theyre plastic but that doesnt mean they can be altered.

khaye1 · 08-31-2010, 01:02 PM

I'm not sure if it's maleable enough to where you can pull it...it might snap. Why not opt for modified m3 fenders?

you make it sound like thats easy... that involves a new front bumper, hood, headlight brackets, more custom brackets...

or opt for a new M3.. no mods required there... just some more monies

Let me ask around and see what i can find out for ya.

nothing is ever easy when you're modding

, besides if you're gonna do it might as well do it right the first time. another option would be molding flares to your existing fenders

okay, more info, my car was keyed this weekend. Thats why i need to repaint them anyways

. I was just wondering what options i have to get some more rubber and wheel in. Now if someone stole my car and totaled it... then I could jump into that m3... back to the topic at hand

there are non-oem m3 fenders design to fit non-m. you just need a body shop that can do the modifications to the fender and brackets.

that defeats the purpose. They fit because theyre not wider....

i believe the flare are still wider than the standard.

Damn, sorry about your car getting keyed. Have you tried calling SonicMS, speedelement, or RJ's?

Also, I've never seen you around San Jose! LOL. Which part are you from?

VTECaddict · 08-31-2010, 04:43 PM

I doubt they can be pulled/rolled. They will either go back to the original shape or crack/crease. Plastic is pliable but not really malleable.

LOLrance · 08-31-2010, 06:20 PM

Dam, those meaty 265's up front not wide enough for ya? haha

How much camber in the front are you running again? I'm going to try and stuff a 255 AD08 in front (which runs a bit wider then a 265 StarSpec).

zsapphire7 · 08-31-2010, 06:29 PM

Im usually in Cupertino/Mountain view. I used to see Dz ericson 335i around donut wheel a lot. Ill give sonic a call to see what they have for suggestions.

hah... whats wrong with wanting more

? Im runnign -3.2 for the fronts on et 27. I think you can get away with 27->32mm. When i was test fitting, the 10mm spacer worked but just to add an extra amount of margin for the track (tire rollover) I went with the 15mm spacer. The AD08s run that wide??? the 265 are pretty blocky...
