So I went down the new dish route, from Dave (JustMatz now Torque Partz) Stainless steel aswell. the current state of UK roads is awful. completely unacceptable in may cases not only do they leave potholes to get bigger but they dont repair them properly & the hole is back within days of being 'fixed', thus making things like this happen.......& then when they do re-lay a road they have the audacity to simply throw wet tar down & then gravel on top of it, is it any wonder my bonnet looks like the night sky with god damn stone chips....grrrrrr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TanVr6 0 Posted May 28, 2015 Waste of time and money! Would never recommend doing this as paint cracked on most arches. So now they need painting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TanVr6 0 Posted May 28, 2015 It's not his fault really, this is common problem with trying to roll arches. Fixes one problem but creates a new one which is worse! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VW_OwneR_85 1 Posted May 28, 2015 Looking Fresh!, shame about the paint cracking on the archs did they not warn you about it before they started? just be aware cracked paint is a recipe for rust, Flex polisher !! they aint value village. fairly comfy and light ? i use a cheap rotary but its weight makes it nasty to use..

ChrisL 17 Posted May 28, 2015 Alarm bells would have rung with the arch roller guy when he laid the rs on the concrete and used it as a seat!! I had my arches rolled on my old golf by stylehaus and no cracking or damage at all. Shame about yours though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very comfy to use and light too. I have a cleanyourcar one too! That's ok, but nowhere near as good or comfortable or quiet as the flex. They did warn me, but now I have an excuse to do some touch up work around the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't there when they were getting rolled, my younger cousin was and he did ask if he could sit on them. My cousin said yeah. :bonk: :bonk: This whole wheel progress has been going wrong. Time to get the stainless dishes off and use them in the kitchen or in the park as a frisbee! Get the original dish repaired by a professional and back on the car!
