Having a bit of trouble with the front flares on my build of GT350R 5R101. I don't think I did the wheel openings right, having overhanded one of them. What would be the best way to fix the wheel openings so I can get the styrene to form the shape of the flare to sit in the correct position? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have done this repair by gluing a strip of. 010" styrene in the wheel arch, leaving a little bit sticking out. I then filed it to shape, and puttied the area around it.  After a few coats of putty they looked really good.
