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!
