Looking for someone a bit more local ideally, mick's in essex isn't he?

He is, yeah. I think you might struggle to find somewhere nearer although Dips on E-squirty throne might be able to help or point you in the right direction? I need my rears arches done too but Mr Nas is going to have them done while my car's with him.

Then you can sell it on after your done.

I'm cheap and do it with a bar... loads of ways to do it!
Do a google search.

Tempted to buy that as it's about the same cost as having all of my arches rolled.

Just to save hassle and time though I'm looking in to a company called archenemy they are mobile come out to you and seem to be very experienced. I may need to roll and flare so these guys may be the best bet. Looking like around £150 for the works.

Mark if I do use these guys (which is probable) I'll let you know how it goes..

Yeah, please do. I have a set of 8Jx15 Compomotive split-rims for the track car and need as much room as I can get.

I'm booked in for the arch rolling tomorrow at 2.30. Pop over at some point if you want to see how they operate etc.

Why you rolling your arches. Is it to fit the bbs rs's.
Thought they were a perfect fit.

BBS RS 070's are a perfect fit in terms of offset and the fronts clear no problems, but I've put 2.5 inch dishes on the rears (the fronts are 1.5 as standard) and are now 8" wide instead of 7" wide hence the need for arch rolling.

To be honest if I'd gone for a stretched look (e.g 195/45's on the rears) they would've cleared the arches easilly, as would have 205's probably I just wanted to get the right tyre size for the wheel and with the 50 profile wanted to minimise a 'crashy' drive where i feel every pot hole, hump etc (of which there are plenty in london) which can potentially dent or damage the alloy as well.

Will try and get over mate. Can you pm post code?

The arches that need to be rolled

looking nice

Looks the nuts mate. Really contrast well with body colour.

Please tell me you're coming to Gaydon? There are some awesome UK E21's now and we could put a proper good stand together.

Cheers, hopefully once the arches are rolled tomorrow it'll actually be nice to drive rather than just look at.

Yeh Gaydon defo, when is it?

Gorgoeus car mate
