baseball bat or anything of that sort and a torch.

heat up the metal & paint just enough to make it easier to roll out, not hot enough to f up the paint.

and just roll it back and forth.

simple, hahah i have seen many people do this, Idk if i would do it but you do what you gotta do.

Just cut the rear fender lips out, rear fenders are strong enough.

If you don't want to do that, get a baseball bat, and a heat gun. Or a heat gun and a rubber mallet. There are so many ways to do it.

rear fenders really arent strong enough in most damp places. only way to do that right is to cut the lips, weld them back and repaint the quarters. there is a good shot of the fenders splitting if not. especially if youre rubbing

Co sign!

I bought a car with fenders done with a jack handle. I bought the car at night. I wanted to drown myself (and/or be struck by lighting) when I saw the car in the light the next day.


Where are you located? I'm sure we can find someone near you to help you out.

also, e46s have some rubber coating inside the fender. to get a full roll, that needs to come out and it's a PITA. i roll a lot of fenders and a roller is key to getting good results. you can rent one here: http://www.rollyourfender.com/index.html

^ get a drill and one of those cheap paint-removal-metal-wire-wheel-bits, piece of cake.

^ sitting there without a lift at an awkward angle digging that crap out with a screwdriver and heat gun was horrible lol tried the drill idea but didnt get much out

The moment when I see the word Roll in the title, I recall a question that: Enter the second word in this phrase, relating to efficient tire:" low _ _ _ _ _ _ _resistance, we don't know which word to fill in at the first time, after research, the answer should be rolling.
