Clear as mud and the damn crystal ball is still out for service. If you are having trouble verbalizing what you want to do, post pics.

You could, it might not look right and your front fender would then be missing its flare.

And you didn't spell check either. lol.

Welding on a new flare will take some talent. The sheetmetal deforms very easily. Post some pics of the fender lip, it may be easier to glass it back in.

The front/rear wheel arches are not the same size. When I fitted my Cabrio flares I discovered this the hard way.
