Starbo Moorley Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Yeh made a mess of it though lol ! Just removed plastic cut it and use no nails too put it back on, i hammered my arches instead of using a roller lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starbo Moorley Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Not efectively no cause two of the tabs are at the top of the arch, it aint hard too do, ive done cars with a proper roller fine, i just dont care about my car that much haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kbond Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 When you roll your archs you need to use a heat gun and heat the metal and paint before rolling so you dont crack the paint anyway so heat up the plastic arch trim at the same time and when its hot enough it will bend with itHave done one like this before as i work in a body shop Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm going to be running 15x7 ET13, currently on 195/50 tyres which rub a little on the GT but it's only dropped about 35mmI'm planning to lower it more on Meisters so I'm definitely going to need the arches rolling. And I don't want to run skinny stretched tyres as I want to use the car on track a fair bit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
