Default Replace factory fender with newstyle fenders

Hi, Can I replace the fenders on my 2000 VDP with the fenders found on the newer ones. with the chrome. I have attached a picture. Id this possible? about how much do you think it would be. I could also just add the vents to my existing fenders.

thanks

@ Moonman

I'm sure it could be done but would defenitely need some modifications, either minor (assuming the width is correct) you would still have to adjust where the fender joins to the body, and probably cut around the edges as the fender goes into the wheel arch.

Worst case if the width wasn't right you'd have to cut the fender in half and remove a section, then put it back together again.

Anything can be done but I guess a lot is up to how good you are yourself with fibreglass, or how much you are willing to pay someone who is.

Let us know if you try it, always good to see something new

I think it would be easier if I could find the vent covers. Then I could just cut out the vent and shave it down to an angle. Or even just attach it to the fender. I don't really care if it functions. Does anyone know the part number?
