solution, and please photos if you have any?

Installing these hammered fenders has been a labor of love and if it hadn't been I would have thrown them away some time ago. I finally got the rubbing problems fixed but now I have a rattle from the front fender because there is such a long portion up front that is not supported. Can anyone suggest a fix to secure and stabilize the leading edge of the fender that won't detract from its look?
