Front fenders.

[levistar]

My guys. New member here. Looking at buying a '73 2002. Car is very solid except for the front fenders. They will need to be replaced. Local dealer says they are still available OE but are $866 each. Have not really had luck on the internet. Did a search on here. Everyone seems to have the same story. Some posts mentioned the fiberglass ones,but I cannot seem to find them. Any ideas

You should be able to get them significantly cheaper. Try steve BLUNT unkorama@gmail.com on this Board, who does a fair 2002 mail order parts business. I have also had excellent luck with my local BMW dealer for '02 parts (consider the shipping cost), but for many others that has not been the case. Good luck.

I haven't looked in a long time, but I used to see used fenders in good to great condition selling here left and right for $25 to $50 each. I'd never think of buying new when it comes to fenders. Definitely check the parts thread and post a WTB if nothing else.

they also show up in ebay fairly frequently.....in other words, they are available and usually for far less than 866 a pop!

Where are you located? I have a pair of used fenders from a 1974 (they have holes for side reflectors and big bumpers)

I'm in Edmonton Alberta,Canada. I wouldn't need them for a while,as I have not bought the car yet.

if you decide to go new i can help you. a lot of people shy away from shipping to canada, especially larger stuff. last i checked fenders were 450 a side

They used to be called 'Japco' but ownership changed.

I wouldn't think they'd be what you want for a street car.

fwiw,
