Question N/A fender on turbo car

I've been trying to find a write up or diagram on how to cut the n/a fender to fit on a turbo car, but my searches yield no useful information. I have seen it in the past though.

We have a customer at work who needs a white turbo fender, and I have a white n/a fender I'm willing to give him, if I can figure out exactly how to cut the front to fit.

Thanks!

Less than 2 square inches of metal in the shape of a little triangle needs to be trimmed from the fender in the front corner, and you need to leave a little extra on there to roll and form a factory looking lip. This can be done by using the bumper cover as a template for the cut. Personally the best way to do this is take some thin 2ply cardboard, cut it to match the profile of the bumper cover in the corner, then lay it over the fender and trace to get the area of fender to cut off. Remember to leave 1/4 to 1/3 inch to roll over into a lip. You'll need a dremel, hammer, a couple dollys, and a file. If you aren't repainting the car right away you can touch up the area where the paint cracks when you form the lip.
