So guys, the fenders are on the car.
I will try to write a review for those of you who are interested in these fenders. I will post this information on the Wide fenders for mk5 GTI thread also

First of all, the difference between these fenders and OEM fenders is ~1.2 kg/ piece: Stock 2935g cs Kerscher 1682g

Than, fitment... Well, it is not quite perfect. On the left side of the car the fitment is perfect (better than OEM):



On the right side things are not quite the same... There is a gap on the fender and the front bumper:





And there is some space between the fender and the headlight. But, the fender is aligned with the hood so I guess there was some space with the OEM fender too:



All of the other joints or lines are perfect.
So, the fenders are not quite perfect but good enough (at least for my standards).

The fenders extend quite a lot and I like the look of the car with the new fenders.





Please don't mind the front left RLine grille. It has not arrived yet and I needed the car.





And to make the post even longer, here are some shots with the OEM fenders and the Kerscher fenders.
I tried to have the same angle but it is not quite the same. I hope this helps anyway...







All the best!  :drinking:

P.S. I Still have to make some photos of the inner fender but that will only happen when I change the winter wheels.

And time for another small update: I changed the exterior door trim. I had the matt one and now I bought the glossy black one:



The installation is quite straight forward. Just pull the rubber next to the trim to reveal the 2 bolts holding the trim in place.



Here are the before/after pictures:





Thanks for watching!
