I have this somewhere. It's in the WIS if you look hard enough. I'll try and post it up tomorrow, in PDF form. I thought I posted it up as a PDF before though, but can't recall. If you have the patience, you could search all of my posts and see!

As promised, here it is - along with the entire front fender installation instructions for 202s.

The lip is usually 50*, the AMG spec calls for 100*. Honestly, when I installed my new fenders, I didn't measure. I just rolled them as much as possible. Only makes sense...

Yup, I also recommend to roll the fender lip a max, specially if you are going with 18" wheels or more. I found there is a very very slight rub on the front edge when turning in a bend at speed with my 18" Monos and running over a slight bump or ridge in the road

Thanks Sabboteur. I greatly appreciate your help and info. Just ordered a new genuine passenger fender and your timing is perfect.

Cheers

Thanks for the advice as I'm currently running 18" Mono's. Will be dropping her with a Koni yellow adjustable/Vogtland setup this Spring #4 pads in front and #3 pads in the rear. I'm planning to go with new 18" wheels after the lowering. Any info. on the best f/r offsets would be appreciated as I don't want any rubbing issues.

Cheers
