Rat on! As I promised here's my very easy how 2 4 the ''sharp fender''.
Enjoy!

Step 1:
Tape mark the area u're goin 2 cut by either measurin it or eyeballin it,
it's up 2 u,u know how good u r.But remember 2 b generous w/ your cuttin area
'cause after cut, the fender's gonna need 2 b grinded e sanded a bit. No first
cut is final one,usually first cut's crap n needs 2 b adjusted.
There are 2 ways of doin it: this, the easy one,or u can cut less material
n then fold it 2 shape,this way u'll have nice roundy smooth edges.
If u take a look that's how fenders r actually done on their own edges.
If i'll have sum time i'll draw a scheme n then scan it.

Step 2:
Go on then, kut the heck out of it.
I used a very normal hacksaw.Dependin on which direction u're cuttin,4 instance
if u go left 2 right apply pressure upwards, this way u'll cut it straighter.
U can use your grinder n avoid this pain if u think u're not gonna mess everything up!
So once again choose your own!

Step 3:
Right then! Now that it looks like $crap u can just throw the piece of junk away
e buy an alreadymade 1.
Just kiddin', now that it actually looks like scrap metal take your grinder and
some sandin paper(i used sum thick one) n try 2 smooth it out the best u can.

After cut,other cut, grindin & sandin the tip is goin 2 b quite bumpy,being
thin u just need 2 beat it lightly w/ a medium/light hammer 2 bring it back
2 shape.

Step 4:
After sandin, a good coat of paint will do it

fancy but overall a nice looker.
