How to roll an E46 M3 front fender

bigjae1976 · 02-16-2013, 11:52 PM

Might get moved but I think this will help many since a lot of people are going to E46 M3s. This is for track cars with owners who still care what the car looks like.

If you roll the front fenders, the front corner will curl in. This will cut your tires. So you need to make some relief cuts on the front corner and the rear above the plastic rivet in the fender liner. Grab a rubber mallet and bang away! See pics below.

The cut on the backside of the front fender.

The beat it down.

The front part...make this cut.

Beat on it.

You have to make one more cut along the backside. Then beat it all flat with a mallet.

The magic of negative camber...it will fit!
