I
haven't done this, but I'll throw in my $.02 anyway with regard to Dremel bits,
etc. I know what you're saying about the Dremel cutoff wheels - they
suck. I used to have a fiber-reinforced cutoff wheel that I bought froma
hobby shop when I was dabbling in R/C airplanes. I think it was made by
Dubro. 2" diameter, and the thing seemed about indestructible. I
finally broke the center out of it when I was using it to cut the bolts on an
exhaust clamp on our POS Olds. I had previously used it to cut off at
least one Beetle exhaust, and a bunch of other metal stuff. If you can
find one, I highly recommend it if you're planning on cutting
metal.
As
soon as you cock the Dremel wheels in whatever slot you're cutting, they catch
and fracture, and then they fly apart and hit you in the
eye.

Casey, I used a dremel on the rear fender lips of my
Corrado. I tried rolling but the paint was cracking so I stopped pretty
quickly. Using the cutting wheel that came with the dremel was painful,
b/c it kept snapping. I stepped up to a thicker wheel from the hardware
store (dremel makes it tho), scored the line to cut, then cut, and it worked
much better. If you do this, just sand, primer and paint the cut so it
won't rust. Mine is still good after about a year.

Does anyone have an idea how to roll in the lip on
fenders? I want to do it myself If I can figure out how to without
wrecking anything. My new wheels (24mm offset with 195/50/15s)
just barely rub on the inner lip of the fender.
I love the wider look of these wheels on the car
:o)
TIA
