Anyone have a Fender Roller? (or know where to go to get it done?)

[R-Audi]

I need to roll my front fenders, as the left side has started to rub. Any ideas where to go to get this done? Any shops do this?

[rage2]

Tunerworks.

Any idea of costs?
(I guess I could PM Rob)

[Seanith]

you don't have a baseball bat? lol jk

[4wheeldrift]

Tunerworks will only rent out the tool to do it. The only shop around that I know that does it is maranellos, and they rent tunerworks tool to do it.

[bigboom]

just use a baseball bat

I sent anemail top Rob, so we will see.

Has anyone done it, that would be willing to help???

Seriously, just use a small bat or a jack handle. Go slow and only bend a little at a time. Keep going back and forth in small steps until the metal is clear of the path of the tire. I did this same procedure to my Z with great results. Just take it slow.

Below is a pic after the rolling was completed. You can see there is no deformation of the body around the fender opening. This is DIY and will save you money. Good Luck

this is the tool that shops will use. You could try and rent one or improvise something from it. Also remember to use a heat gun and do it in a warm area or on a warm day. This way hopefully the paint won't crack where the bend is.

Also i heard that at shops it is somewhere between $50 to $75 per wheel.

this has only happened recently? and why is only your left side rubbing? maybe u have a suspension problem..

[R-Audi]

I talked to Tunerworks, and they rent it out.
As far as suspension problems, my shocks are getting a little worn, and will be replaced in the spring, but rubbing is common with a 2.5" drop on Audi's with the same size wheels. Maybe I just weigh more then all of my passengers?? (I'm ~200lbs)

Hee hee hee

Gordon are you gonna go Konis or just replace them with OEM shocks again? If you want help I'd be more than glad. I changed all four on the 6 myself, it'll be fun , plus you'l save about $300-400 bucks.

It would end up being the Neuspeed Bilsteins, cause they are height adjustable. You don't need to roll your fenders by chance hey? Figured someone wouldn't mind chipping in for the rental...

Anyone interested??

[Millsie]

That looks kinda hardcore to be honest...have you thought about trying a few more mm of offset maybe, it may cure your rubbing problem, plus with height adjustable perches you should get back some lost travel and hopefuly aviod the rubbing thing al together..why don't you wait until spring when the new shocks go in and see what happens first beofre someone potentially mutilates the A4??

Do it slow, and be prepared for a few flakes or cracks in the paint if you screw up.

[R-Audi]

I don't think its possible to change the offset without gettting new wheels, which I am not about to do when the fenders can be rolled. I can only go wider....

Getting quite worried about the paint cracking or chipping though.
I guess I won't have to worry about it when I get my beuatiful 16" winters on....

[Millsie]

Sorry, no I meant change the offset by using some spacers like H&Rs or something. a few mms might make all hte difference.

[R-Audi]

Wouldn't going wider make my tires rub MORE???
