islander · 14-05-2008, 22:23

balls, you can roll them far east if you want to.

never heard of a coke bottle? what size? lol

turbomalv · 14-05-2008, 22:24

where abouts are you mate i have access to a roller and am having a go at mine this weekend or one nyt next week if all works out good on mine could probably do yours if you want. i am in worcester!!!!!!

Papercutout · 14-05-2008, 22:28

Tbh, if he's saying they can't be rolled out that much, give it a go with turbomalv, but you might have to peel the arch lip out, take a cutter to it, and cut into it in strips, then bend them outwards, weld a smooth piece of metal over the top, then smooth it in. Can look REALLY good when done, and obviously you can get any size/shape you want within limits.

Quite a lot of work though.

skyline786 · 14-05-2008, 22:35

i'm in bham mate, not far from driftworks let me know how you go with yours and you can do mine to.

stillsideways · 14-05-2008, 22:54

might have to give you a shout next week turbomalv if poss my car is in evesham and been trying to get my rears done...whoop whoop got beers and trick garage

turbomalv · 14-05-2008, 22:55

how much you wanna go. i am not goin mega. an inch maybe just so i can space the rear wheels out alot more and stop the front wheels hitting the wings. like papercut says can bend the inner arch out and roll that to to add extentions. but is a lot of work and needs some filler afterwards. have seen it done and end result is fat.

turbomalv · 14-05-2008, 23:00

no worries stillsideways i am still a little bit of beginner at it can do lips no worries but am experimenting with flaring the arch more and more. so once i get it good will be happy to do yours to. will show ya pics of mine when done. didn't know there was a fellow skidder so close to me

skyline786 · 14-05-2008, 23:07

i dont think mines will be more then an inch mate, post some pictures up once youve done yours.

stillsideways · 14-05-2008, 23:12

well car is off the road being rebuilt, im not fussed really? can use my car as practise lets just roll till we start laughing!...not going to be running large wheels so prob be the same as yours really just enough for a wider wheel base

turbomalv · 14-05-2008, 23:46

sounds good to me mate will borrow the roller then sort out a date to come round and play. will pm ya when i borrow it to arrange dude once we done mine and yours can do skyline786 no worries. what car you got still??????

Lucky you!

tetsujin - I agree, that was a bit gutsy, it looked SOOOO good at the RR07 show actually sitting ON the tyres too

Hope you get them smoothed out nicely, will absolutely rock then!

Phil from Archenemy.co.uk did mine mate. 17x9 +30 245/45 just filled my arches before, and now 17x9 -3 with a 225/45 fits in easy peasy! (Need to go lower I know) Could probably run a 235/45. No paint cracking, no ripples. Mint job!

RandomGuy · 15-05-2008, 14:14

scaff bar :Thumbs:
