OK, this discussion has moved into rolling the fender lips......

ABSOLUTLEY, DO NOT cut the fender lip..... under any circumstances. The inner and outer fender lips are structural. Just becauase someone hasn't had a problem is no reason to do this. Threre are people who have had severe structural problems from cutting the fender lip.

The inner and outer fender are tack welded and are an important part of the structural rigidity of the coachwork.

If you want to roll the fender lip, a baseball bat works nicely from what I have been told. Search the SE-R Mailing List archives for more info on rolling fenders if you need to roll them.

That said, the initial question was not about rolling the fenders. And like Jason said, I have not had to roll the fenders on my P10. I did on my SE-R.
