Is the fender 1/4" thick? If it is, simply make a 2 piece mold of the existing fender. The downside is that the back side of second half of the mold may not be perfectly smooth and shiny. If it is not ... the mold will pick up the texture/detail of the inside of the fender and your part will end up with a hazy or matte finish on that side of the lens. If you need perfectly shiny on the inside and outside, whatever you make your mold out of will need the same surface quality as you wish to reproduce in your lens.
Hope that makes sense.
Mike
