500E fenders fit 300E???
Been trying to gather some more parts before the repaint on the 300E, but I am wondering if the 500E fenders will bolt on the 300E?
It looks to me like a direct bolt on! I got a price quote today from the local dealer for 830 bucks per side and they have to come out of Germany.
I hope someone has done this tweak and can help me out here.

The E500 was in part hand built by Porsche Technicians, that included hammering out and reinforcing some of the joints. Its actually wider than the E420/E320 for this reason. All of the trim kit will be required for a proper fit. One option if you do go that route is to get the Euro front fenders which have the mount for adding turn signal repeaters.

1988 300E
Don,
Where are you at and what year is your 300 E? I have both front fenders off mine, but I totalled the back end and bent the frame pretty bad. If you need both fronts off an 88 300E, we could talk. The driver's side is about perfect, the passenger has a little ding in it.

The fenders on my car ( 87 300E ) are straight, but I love the look and need the clearance of the 500E flared fenders.
