Phil K 0 Posted June 23, 2006 They're quite easy to make using a standard VW jack and a skateboard wheel... Haven't used one myself and I'm sure it's all about taking your time with this kind of thing - top tip is to use a heat gun to soften the paint as you go! Some people have still experienced cracking even with this though :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil K 0 Posted June 23, 2006 PM gradeAfailure on here - he was planning to make one and IIRC he has some diagrams etc for doing this... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furkz 0 Posted June 23, 2006 think RSR Wheels do arch rolling at £25 per wheel but most places do them from £30 - £40 per wheel and their likely to be quite experienced at not cracking the paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted June 23, 2006 i borrowed g-werks tool which is the same as that one in tha pic it was a pain getting it in the right position to start off but obviously stayed in that position for the rest of the car. i used a heat gun and got no cracking. the home made ones are just as good though ive seen one a guy on edition supplys the plans can remember who but he has a rallye in his sig pic!
