kev did it for me. He adjusted the lip on the front ones only. basically panel beat them until they were back. He was exteremely careful not to ripple the wing and made a good job. No rolling required just his eye and a panel beaters hammer.

I will be leaving on Friday dinner time to go to Crieff so call me before then if you want to meet. I will be coming home on Saturday morning.

its more about what tyres you use iv got 225 40s on mine but with rolled arches and coilovers but if you go down to 215 35s you can get away with konis and decent springs with just a bit of trimming of the shit shield.i prefer the bigger tyres cos they pretect the wheel more
