Wink fenders (wheel arches)

hi guys im thinking on getting fenders for my 1998 320, as i have a small dent about 2 inches above the rear wheel arch,
The question is, would the fender cover this dent? and if so are they easy to fit? how are they secured, etc,etc,does anyone one have a run down on fitting them before and after.
regards.

Send a message via AIM to Solidjake
go to a paintless dent removal shop and just get a quote on how much it would be to pop it back into place. might be cheaper than getting fenders

I second what SolidJake said, the fenders painted from the dealer is $800, unpainted $450. I do not beleive they are easy to find anywhere else good luck finding them online. I myself am in the market for some replacement flares due two damaged front ones.

The fenders are held on by clips and screws. And they do cover at least two inches above the wheel arch, probably about 5.
