its easy nick...cut slits up your steel fenders bout 2-3inches dependin on how much clearance ya want do them down as far as that groove in the panel thats bout half inch thick ya no the one runs the whole length the car...then jus pull the flaps of steel your slits make up flat try you over fender on so you no the steel isnt pushin it out further than its supposed to be onces its not weld the flaps closed so no water gets on give them a sealer an pant an jus pop your over fenders on then job done

AFAIK Polo's build thread on DW is worth a look. So too is Jay's driftireland 180SX build thread on here
