Hi guys

I have rear fenders being replaced in my Turbo S - they were reapired so many times by previous owners that I decided to replace the whole quarter panels. The donor car is non turbo 944. I know that Turbo S has rolled rear fenders to accommodate larger wheels. I need to show something to the body shop so they can rework the standard ones - my current fenders shape can't be relayed on. Can someone post or e-mail me a picture with the difference in shape pionted out - I have looked at dozens of pics but I can't spot the difference. Maybe I'm looking at wrong part of the fender?
Your help will be much appreciated as the guys from the shop are waiting for me to provide some info.

The inner lip is rolled in, is all that I know...

Lemme take a pic of mine, in case it helps.

Picture will be the best help. Inner lip - you mean the lip that you can't see from outside?

VWaddict

Exactly.

I just took a few pics... not sure how clear they are. -Let me upload them and I'll post them.

Here you go:
One of the top (hard to see that it's rolled-in)


Photo if the bottom of the trailing edge, you can see the edge of the lower rear spoiler, as a positional reference... this is driver's side, facing to the rear of the car:


this is driver's side, facing toward to the FRONT of the car:


this is passenger's side, facing to the front of the car:


Hopefully you can see where the 'folded' lip is rolled-in so that it becomes more like a 180-degree "hairpin-fold" (in imagined cross-section) as opposed to a 90-degree fold (in imagined cross-section).

Does that help you any, or do you need different shots?
