I bought some fiberglass fenders to replace my busted up fender from a stupid weather related accident and when they finally arrived they were broken in a few spots...
     That last one is a much larger crack... I had a pic of the front but somehow it got currupt from moving it from my computer to a jump drive to another computer.. I'll try to get it up here as soon as I can.. My question is what do I need to do to repair the cracks and what would be the best/easiest/most inexpensive way? I'm also planning on painting them myself since I don't plan to get a paint job for quite some time.. So I'm needing to sand them down prime and paint.. Wondering about techniques of sanding fiber glass or do I prime it first? You get the idea I think.. --------------------  |

You are going to have to fiberglass the back side of those cracks and then bondo and sand the front. Just bondo will crack again.
Also where did you buy those fenders and were they new? Did the place guarantee the shipping. If so you might want to try to contact the seller and work out a deal to try to get the shipping cost back for the fenders being damaged in transit, since you paid for the safe delivery of your item and clearly it arrived broken.
