Try rolling your own (no pun intended) :)

Roll your own!!!

Try this link:

I have not tried this tool myself but at one time owned a 911 that had flared fenders. Save some money looks like this is on sale (think of it as an adventure).

I'm not sure if this applies to all w211s byt the fenders should already be rolled from the factory.

That tool looks real nice. Much better than the baseball bat method back in the day

True, mine are and it came that way, and I think it is done to E55s only.

If you go straight to the Eastwood site, the price for the roller is $250 plus shipping.

Make sure you're aware of the danger in rolling the fenders. The paint has to be heated up so the paint won't crack. I was going to have the fenders rolled on my Audi. The best body shop in town said they'd do it for a couple hours of labor time but they wouldn't guarantee that the paint wouldn't crack. They said some fenders rolled right up while others would cause the fender paint to crack. It's going to cost you exponentially more money if that happens. I decided at that point not to have it done.
