Title: Thinking about getting my arches rolled
Post by: JackG on February 25, 2012, 09:39:51 am

Hi guys I've been thinking about getting my arches rolled purly to make the car look that little bit wider, I'm not changing wheel size or tyre size, may put a 5MM spacer on when I have my B14 fitted and won't be going mega low, this is purly for cosmetics for me rather than function.

Few things I wanted to know
•is there any negatives to having it done? I.E arch liner won't fit again, needs to be resprayed after, arches will rust etc
•is it easy to see that they have been done or doesn't it make much difference?
•rough estimation of costs for front+rear arches

Does anyone know where is good in the midlands to get it done too? And does it take days or hours?

Sorry for the questions  :ashamed:

Jack

You mean arch pulling? Rolling the arches won't make it any wider.
