Has anyone changed fenders??

[one30five]

MY wife was recently in an accident in my 135. fortunately she's ok and it was low speed, but it left us with a banged up driver side front fender.

I've sourced the parts, and i think i want to do the install myself and have the reccomended import body/paint shop in my area do the paint..... to (hopefully) save money

I was hoping someone could tell me about removal and installation of the front fenders.

are any special tools needed? should I have the fender painted, then install? or should i install and then have it painted?

Thanks for the help!

You could install yourself, but if the shop paints it, they will remove the panel, paint it, install it, then blend. So they would essentially have to install it anyways.
