Wide Body Fenders - RColt Version I

After major scrub issues, i decided to figure out how to compensate the 0 offset on the fronts.
No chance of guard rolling i reckon. Well you could get a little bit out of it.
I went with hacking, drilling and grinding. I gained approx 15mm

You need a 10 and 12mm sockets and spanners.


New bracing to help hold it all together. Top brace holds out the fender slightly. Bottom one hold the bumper on.










Above is my custom little bracket. Gave me maximum change i wanted. Anymore the A pillar window/fender gap will be visible.




















Cut the side skirt with a grinder to complete the look. Crazy!
But I wanted the job done!

Extra requirements:
-> M8x1.25mm various lengths
-> M6x1mm various lengths
-> wing nuts, nylon nuts etc.
-> rubber grommets and some strapping (no idea what its used for)






Pic to the right is the bracket that hold the fender to the underside of the A pillar window. Anymore space there will be a gap.
















In the far back is the top bolt between fender and door hinge. Tough spot, so i left it without a modified bracket.

Have to somehow strap the skirt i cut off to the chassis. It might fly off
