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

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

 

just like that, bollocks to buying one for one use though.

 

just use a big hammer. thats what i did

 

jaimesdna was hoping to be a little neater than that but a wooden mallet is an option.

 

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...

 

i had a punto once , mk1 and used rubber mallet and managed to get 18's on withno rubbing, had to mod bumper bracket though, gud old pound shop, just a shame i spent shit loads of ŁŁ to realise how shit it was.

 

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 Ł40 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)

 

Tweeks do heat the arch as they roll it,doesn't ALWAYS crack
