  1. In the marked area (A) 280 the fender edge is reflanged completely in several stages up to the inside of the fender.

    The flange which is not repositioned in the area (B) in front of the center of the wheel is to be repositioned slightly until approx. 170 mm above the sill. 

    NOTESA plastic-headed mallet must be used to avoid damaging the paint. Use a hot air gun to carefully heat up the outer edges of the fender to a maximum of 70 - 80°C.
