New to me '99 NB1. Fenders were rolled by a previous owner. They didn't do the best job and I kind of hate it.

I do have someone looking at it Thursday to see if they can make it right. Guessing I'm stuck with rolled fenders.

Looking for options I might not have considered to make things look right again.

Stock wheels and old tires on it when we bought it. Not sure it's history past some service items.

Any pics?
If they messed up really bad, you might have to get new fenders or install fender flares.

Need pics. Your best bet is new fenders in the front, or have a bodyshop fix the mistakes.

Fenders rolled correctly are unnoticeable.

That is an easy mistake to do when rolling...the fenders are pulled. It's not *too* bad, but without extensive body work (replacing the quarters and fenders), maybe talk to a body shop about your options and prices?

Had someone check it today to be sure - they are toast. Nothing to improve them. They were rolled without removing clips (causing dents) and pulled as mentioned above. Plan now is to find fenders/quarter panels. He said the front were worse than the rear.

A few thousand, for sure, if you are having it done. I bet $2k. At that point, you might as well have the whole car painted. If want an NB2 nose rear, or sideskirts, now's the time to do it to get them matched!

Taking off the side skirts I have. Don't like them. Haven't seen any flares I like yet.

Saw those earlier - if they would fit it's a possibility. Thought they were NA.
From the site:
Have you ever tried to fit the OE-Style flares to a NB chassis? Absolutely love the way these look, but unsure of fitment on a NB
Hello,

We are pretty sure they will not fit as the wheel arches are not 100% identical between both models.

Thanks!
