I have set of fenders which were on a Le Chemineau many years ago (not mine, however). They are in rough shape. The front one is rather badly deformed and dented, and the rear one looks like they tore it off the bike, nearly tearing the fender in half.

Has anyone had any experience repairing aluminum fenders? Would this be a job for a frame builder? I have been unable to find any new aluminum fenders that are just like them.
