Hi Guys

Can anybody advise on how to remove my front fender? I have a parts car and would like to use the fenders on my current x19.

Is it possible at all? :bang::bang:

any advise would be highly appreciated

thanks

Only way I've ever seen it done is by cutting off the outside fender at some appropriate cut lines (like the top crease and the door gap) leaving a 1/2 inch or so of the old fender skin behind for joining, and then splicing in a replacement piece cut from the donor car.

Since the X is a unibody, there are no bolts or tricks to get a fender off. Everything is welded, and the only way to get the outer fender skin off is by old fashioned cutting tools.

Somebody may have a better method, and if they do I will be glad to see it.
