A 5lb Sledge, Heat gun and Fender rolling...Redneck engineering
All:
It is very simple to roll your fenders.
I borrowed the Eastman tool below and it would not fit the hub correctly on my C4S.
Sooooooooo I dug deep into some old BMW day's modifications (20's on a e39 M5 for example).
I heated the rear lip to an average of 130 degrees and then took my 5lb sledge and bent the inner lip in. No paint cracking and on test drive no rubbing.
Kinda satisfying to pound on your Porsche

A better choice would have been the handle of a baseball bat. Put it between the tire and the fender and roll the car forward and backwards. Slowly push the handle in towards the big end of the taper and it will gently roll the lip.
