That bites.
Well shit, what’s a guy supposed to do? Buy new shocks? Check the leaf spring? Hogwash I tell you.
If you have a car that has leaf springs, you have bigger problems than this guy…
Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrr……………
this is what would have happened to the previous guy if he hadn’t used those zip ties… see told u zip ties are wonderful
that ower has a real flare for bodywork
I’m actually impressed.. I’ve never seen someone Kludge a Beemer before.
That’s because the car already is a kludge.
BMW = Bowel Movement on Wheels
just a little jelous there are ya
Idiot! Total idiot! You just had to have those fat rims and tires on your BMW, nevermind clearance or offset!
If the wheel doesn’t fit, you must acquit…
damn used autobot car. i said transform!
Begginer/teenager driver’s car. Those “tooths” biting the tire just avoids speeding over 50mph.
The guy designed it as a big saw blade for side-swiping jay-walking pedestrians – that’ll teach them for crossing on the “Don’t Walk” against traffic…
Don’t worry – I hear tonight he’s going to apply fifty layers of Duct Tape. Fix it up good.
Obviously that’s why BMW use that specific shade of gray – the duct tape will blend right in.
Just enough money to buy a Beemer, but not enough to bring it to a mechanic.
I´m from Germany. Bavaria exactly – the home of BMW. An the only thing i could say: in my home thisone would be crucified…
Terrible!
Police officer: “I’m sorry. I’m defecting your car. It simply does not meet the cut.
“What happens when low riders get too low”
let’s see, $1,000 for new tires and rims or $2,000 worth of body damage…. Can’t decide….
Screw it! Get both!
If I were the owner, I’d strongly try not to place a truck on top of it.
ya not a truck but maybe another car…
Or a quad wheeler in the trunk.
My friend owns a Beemer. He is now trying to strangulate my screen after seeing this…
Accident? Nah…just a little fender-bender.
Because researching wheel & tire fitments before buying, is, well, hard. As, apparently, is properly rolling your fenders. Who’d have thought it….
All you need is a baseball bat!
and that is why you should never let the mother-in-law sit in the back of your car.
OMG, why do people make cars suffer such violent tortures?
it’s a low rider
low and slow …..
Gee, I read the headline as “Cat Orthodontics Aren’t Cheap”.
Fast and Ben Hurious.
*Bites appreciative in the desk* This picture makes a german cry
BMW = Been Made Worse!
It’s just broke. It ain’t a kludge.
Give the guy a break. He’s inside buying a big can of Bondo.
Needs some Bondo, a MIG Welder, chicken wire and flat black spray paint.
The guy bought those wheels on purpose. The fenders were cut in preparation for body work. There is a trend in Europe and Japan that is to run very low offset wheels with a very deep dish and then flare the fender accordingly.
My guess is that the next step would be for the fender to be fiberglassed/bondo’d and then painted to match the car. It would end up looking really good.
In the civilized world that would be done through the replacement of the quarterpanels, I guess.
You know a little bondo and some sanding that could look factory.
next time buy a bigger car…
Hey, my uncle Guido or my cousin Vinny will make that look factory and get it for ya wholesale!
Who took a cheese grater to my car?
Me thinks it’s just not ready yet. It’s a work in progress.
Next you cut off the excess, weld it back together, fit a new flare and it’ll come out jut fine. That’s how those wide flares are made. I mean, I hope that’s what he’s going to do too…
As someone mentioned, that is likely a photo of work in progress.
Once the cut parts are bent to the desired shape there will be sheetmetal welded to the gaps and the whole thing covered with typically fiberglass or bondo.
This creates a very nice looking smooth flared custom fender.
There’s a lot of this kind of custom flare building going on here in Europe.
oh come on, a 50 dollar used strut off a junker and a bit of elbow grease later can hav that fixed properly
That’s hella flush, yo.
