We're thinking of making vented fenders.
Already we know there are vented ones similar to this with the 2 extra triangle vents but at the same time we all know they need quite a bit of work to correct them and to make them fit. I intend to make them with just Z3 vents. Is there a demand for these?  Estimate price is we where to make them will be around £200 a pair. |

if the front was wider, it would actually almost line up with how wide the rear is

Would also like to see more wider fenders. Not trying to come off as picky but maybe something like this? http://www.nengun.com/auction/item/p234272487 -------------------- (\__/)

IDK, maybe it's just me but Z3 fenders are a little outdated, maybe something that is a more recent design might look better?
Or this rendering from a member on here has always looked great, the widened front fender with a subtle vent accents the rest of the car perfectly. Maybe move the one small piece that stabilizes/connects the outer portion slightly upward in the vent so that it's in the middle and symmetrical?  also I freaking love those taillights, if somebody made those and they didn't cost and arm and a leg I'd be the first one in line to buy them lol. |

Wide fenders would be a good complement to a GT-4 front.
