Rolling Arches

[Furkz]

i want to get my rear arches rolled,,,,,whas the best place near me in the south east to do it,,,ive just had one my arches painted slightly and the other ones mint so want to get them rolled without damaging the paint,,,ideally need this mods to house some 16x9 hopefully.......rough prices of what i should be paying for the pair would be great too

Thanks

Im guessing you mean rolled as in just getting the inner lip rolled back. I have never seen this done where the paint doesnt crack. I have even tired it myself many times using a lot of differant methods, including lots of heat, and the paint still cracks. This will allow water to get in and start to rust under the paint.

Yeah I tried having all that done with my old mk3 golf, the only safe way is to have it rolled then the panel resprayed. Most body shops should be able to do that but sorry can't recommend any in London. Springfields in Guildford are good though, crash repair center for VW in Sly Field Industrial estate
