Looks way better with the fenders cut , I got to get one , I can't wait to trim the body 😊

@@jimbo4203 Glad you like it. To be honest: I trimmed the fenders because of the massive rubbing even with stock wheels/tires. With 64x24 mm and offset rims it would have been impossible to use it.

@@stefan-norge I trim them all , l like the Dremel

@@jimbo4203 me too, otherwise I cannot fit the wheels/tires I want to fix 😉
