Anybody used these guys ?? How did you get on ??

I'm running 18's but only with a 215 tyre on my RA but still get some very slight arch/tyre contact at the rear when driving very hard. Thinking a small roll on the inner lip will sort it but didn't fancy doing it myself. Just wondered if anyone has used 'archenemy' and if theres any horror stories. I know theres a chance of paint damage but how common it is I don't know.

I have heard good things about them , paint cracking is rare , on the fsti once lip was rolled there was not much more that could be rolled , as it double skin , i even bought my own arch roller , i tipped the inner lip a bit more but i don’t think enough , a hairdryer to warm paint and bought my arch roller on ebay for 20£

I have had a couple of cars done by them,they do some good work just make sure that you deep clean your arches before they start the work,making sure that their is no dirt under the inside inner lip.SJ.

Cheers fellas.
spoken to them today, I'm not in their area but they are willing to come out for an extra charge. £130 all in to roll two rear arches, not to bad.

What about a spacer/s, like you used on the front?

Not a bad shout that Alyn could be worth a try first

I have heard some horror stories about them creasing arches over on m3cutters. Buy an arch roller and do your own, I did and they were spot on.
Your paint will crack, end of!

arch roller isn’t expensive

I guess it’s like anything in life it depends who turns up archenemy is not a one man operation...I can only vouch for the gentleman who done my cars and he was spot on very professional.SJ.

Yeah I definitely agree SJ, due to it being franchised, as you say you could get anyone depending on where you live.
