99 E55 fenders
i had to replace one of the fenders on my car and now it rubs all the time. The body shop claims they got the fender strait form Mercedes. The main difference i can see is that the fender is not rolled or flared out like the other one. Can i get a AMG fender from someone or will i have to have this one modified? Did AMG modify the fenders from their factory? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
On a more positive note, i am about to do a mod that most people would never do to a E55, i will post pics as soon as it is installed! If someone can guess it right ill tell, if not then you gotta wait for the pics! But i'm telling you when you see it you guys are probly gonna hate me!

, or you will strip your car, and will have one driver seat At least give us a hint, is it performance mode, visual mode or something else?

Mod? Huh...a two tone paint job?

sorry, forgot to answer the main question. The best guess is to check with a local dealership. I searched online, but nothing. only found one place that sell amg bumper, might be no different than e320/e430 one

The E55 fenders are factory rolled and you probably got an E320/430 non-sport fender. You can have the fender rolled at one of your local wheel shops. Make sure they heat the edge of the fender prior to rolling it because if not, it will crack the paint all along the edge.

Oh, we've thought about it, but we value our hand-built motors to much to let someone bottle feed them. I wouldn't let Earl down at the speed shop step away from spraying a 57 chevy sled to practice installing a "custom wet shot" on my car. As soon as the O2 sensors see juice, you are running down a very dangerous line with a very expensive engine. What happens if he didn't set his supplemental fuel pressure correctly when you hit the go button for the first time? Can't exactly call Summit racing for a new set of pistons.

The problem lies with the fuel management. NOS produces a super-oxygenated mixture which, if not countered perfectly by more fuel, results in a very loud bang and fireball under the hood. 
The oxygen sensors see this lean condition fast, but not fast enough to compensate, and boom!!!
Usually, it takes the hood out too.
