Has anyone used the ghetto fender rolling method?
?? I have to repaint anyways, might as well save $200?

If you mean a baseball bat then yes! It worked just fine. Make sure you use a heat gun or you'll crack the paint. And go SLOW!

Well I ended up using a 2x4 and no dryer (was sunny and warm out) and the fender rolled like a champ, the one that hadnt been trashed yet did not crack at all!
I wouldnt suggest this on newer cars but worked like a champ on my w123.

Preeze Esplain
I'm intrigues by this thread. I've heard of fender rolling and thought I understood what was meant by that. I can't figure out how one would do that with either a baseball bat or a 2x4. What are you guys talking about?

Is this how the wheel well is shaped? As in after filling?

I just rolled the inner lips in on my 124's rear fenders, it's helped the rubbing on turns a little, but I still have a ways to go

I used a big piece of pipe and it worked just fine.

Roll them lips
Looks like all this stuff works. There is a Mercedes TSB on this but it's main point is to heat up the fender lips. We used a plastic hammer to roll my C320's fenders for my C36 AMG wheels. Wheel off, car on lift, stand underneath facing out and bang away.
