I had one that was off a bike that had a fender bender. I cut the bad section off the front an shortened the rear to to kinda match. Here it is with a 21" front wheel, it may look better or actually good on a 16" 130 front tire.

The thing to remember is if you're cutting through the inner brace its a lot tougher. If you're using a 3.5" cutoff wheel like I was have an extra on hand.
