I recently saw a thread that had a pic of a piece of kit bolted to the hub for rolling the arches.
Does anyone have one of these that i can borrow/hire or know of anywhere that hires these so i can mod my arches slightly.

cheers
Dave

Not sure where you'd be able to hire one from, though.

Use a plastic duck hammer (takes a while but end result is perfect)

I used a breaker bar, between the tire and the arch and rolled it around, worked quite well...

worked out fine on mine. rolled the front arches right back onto the wing then seam sealed them up to stop water & dirt getting in there. took a while but looked neat

Demon Tweeks have got one,if you trust them to do it!!!

M8 had it done a couple of years back on a astra,cracked the paint though,they do get you to sign somethin before they do it to say you have been warned that paint can crack IIRC
Does a neat job of rolling the arches though,think it was around the £40 mark

Not far from you either

paint will nearly always crack. probably better to sand paint off the lip before rolling & touch it up after (it will be out of site after its rolled anyway)
