Default Rolled fenders this past weekend .....thanx to others from last week.
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/25926/fender_roll_1.jpg"></center><p>I was looking for all sorts of ways to get this done last week and finally just decided to do myself after I read sooooo many posts about how to do. I'll do a legit write-up in the next week or so. Cliff-notes version is PVC tubing, baseball bat, hair dryer and take your time!<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2272127.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2272127.phtml</a</li></ul>

Does your wheel stick out farther than the fenders?? That looks like 2 or 3 inches.

heat gun in the wrong hands = trouble, you can't melt paint with a hair dryer

Can you still get out your fender liners with them rolled?
