Can do whenever you are ready.
We had the arch roller out ready to attack the white car after I heard of your issues, we never had to use it.

We should have rolled your arches because while rolling them it flares them at the same time, I have just done my escort and even though they were rolled from the factory I managed to flare them another 6mm, that with my previous mods makes the rear end of my car 46mm wider than std.

Another top job done by Martin and Tony at Reyland. Well pleased with the wheels and tyres on the way home - they stick to the road like glue and look the b*llocks.
Could someone please do me a quick photoshop to see what the centre inserts would look like powder coated black ?
Thanks again lads
Gary

378's are plenty BIG enough on anything lol
But I know what your saying, there are LOADS of wheels that look better but very few that allow big brake conversions.

Rare on a V reg
Looks good, though it's looks a little RWD for me. Guessing you can't put any wider on the fronts at all?
