My fender is not narrow. It's the normal widebody fender.
The problem with my car is that it's not straight. The damper towers have been bent a third of an inch to the right. That means the fenders point slightly to the right on both sides.
I've talked to Toyota they have a straightening jig and they say they can fix it for $1000-$2000. So I'm going to have that done.
I live in Denmark and here cars are extremely expensive. The reason for this is our tax system.
We pay between 40% and 60% in income tax.
AND:
We have a 180% registration fee plus a VAT of 25%. So whenever we buy one car we actually pay for three. So everything here gets fixed. It's worth it.
Just to give you an impression of the level I can tell you that I have paid $21.000 for this car two months ago and that is considered cheap here......a car like mine (just straight not bent) will cost around $26.000 at a dealer.
