Default Arch rolling near to Harrow/Watford?

May need to get my arches rolled tommorow, thats if my wheels get delivered tmrw at last & Mags gets the tyres in & if the tyres actually rub!!
Going to try & get 225/45/17 tyres on a 8J / 48 offset rim on std classic sti suspension

So anyone know a good place close by who can roll the rear arches on the day?

Hi Ricky. One of the guys on the RB5 forum used a company called archenemy.co.uk. and they done a really good job (although they do ask u to sign a waver first). I don't know where they are based but they are mobile.

bockett used them
the disclaimer is to cover them if the paint cracks
and i think it often does
bring it round mine ricky and i will do it, no disclaimer to sign
our complaints department is me
if you moan i will slap you

Like I said Ricky, it is easy with a lump hammer, and heat gun to soften the paint will stop it cracking in most cases - I also have a set of panel beaters hammers if you want me to be careful

PS - can I get a lift on Sunday

If there's enough people need it doing this could be an option

Yeah, Russ used ArchEnemy. Little Knocks also recommended them.

I'll book in when the car is back too.

Just spotted this one Jon, good find. Could be a good idea if anyone's feeling brave/skilled? £10 for heat gun too.

I have a heat gun so don't need that - if people are willing to take the chance I'll be up for doing it - if I ever get a moment

I rolled the arches on my cavalier myself with a set of panel beaters hammers and had a 1" crack on 1 arch and that was without heat - I did all 4 on the cav

Not needed as 3 wheels arrived today, the 4th is somewhere in the Interlink twilight zone

This was after 2 previous failed pick ups, the first saying they are too heavy packed in pairs & then rebooking individually & them saying booking still shows pairs not 4 packages. This was by DHL.

So then rebooked with Interlink who end up losing one!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Will wait & see if it turns up tmrw?

ps also last week my Opie Oils delivery was lost by Fedex & after 8 days I got them ship out new consignment!! This meant could nt get the car serviced, worked on & mapped this week either.

Feeble excuse - getting some ported headers later so nearly there - just need to get hold of Moley and sort some insurance
