He guys. I love the look of these front fenders. To me its what i think i imagine a modified for sport driving fender should look like ( i made that up). Was an English wheel used to get that shape or a what?   Anyone one else tried this. Any other pictures out their?

Thats just done with a fender roller. Little at a time . Expect paint cracking even with heat gun. Mine were all cracked before I started and I repainted just the lips afterward. Its a driver and looks fine from 20 feet at night

I too would love to see more examples of pulled fender cars, I'm looking to do the same as steve to fit my mahle 15x7 et13. 

 

Here's another example that i've been eyeing for a while as inspiration, from what I read the rear inner fender well was cut and widened to allow for more pulling in the rear.

That looks great Mlytle! I agree the stealth stockish fenders look great with some meaty tires, I almost went with Rabbit flairs but seeing these cars really made me appreciate the factory arches. 

What's your wheel offset and tire size in that picture?

the normal wheel size for a 2002...15x7, et25.   tires are 205/50 15 Kook 214's.  too tall...but they don't make a 205/45.  compensate by running short diffs (4.10, 4.44 depending on track)

I'm running 205/50's as well, hopefully my 3.91 diff will cut it... I do have a 4.27 gear set I could swap in.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
