Adjust Fenders at front near bumper
Hi all.
I've taken my nose off the car and have purchased a KR nose.
What I have noticed now is that the drivers side fender seems to sit to far in and the passengers side fender sits further out.
I also have the bowed fender problem near the doors, which I know how to fix, but can I adjust how the front of the fender sits?
Cheers all.
Jonno.

Re: Adjust Fenders at front near bumper
Pictures always help us figure out just exactly what you're talking about. If the fender gaps to the hood are the issue then the fenders ... and the hood are adjustable. If it's a front bumper cover to fender issue then knowing more about the bumper would help. But basically all of the sheetmetal has some adjustment. Also when the car is jacked up improperly and the bottom rear of the fenders are pushed up it tends to roll the top of the fender in at the rear and will close up the fender to hood gap at the back. It's a balancing act. But if the structural parts of the car are square then there should be enough adjustment to make it look nice.
