garycTT Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Ive had to fit spacers to get my wheels to clear my new brakes, and now the rear wheels are catching the arches, so I need to get the arches rolles. Does anyone know where abouts in Scotland I could be this done? Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ian Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 i think "Driver's" in Glasgow roll arches http://www.drivers-glasgow.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 be careful with arch rollers, the metal on the rear arches can be a little thin, so as they roll the arch it ripples where each of the rivets sits. You may get away with it but its worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah to that above just had my arches done at GVN today & professionally cut & treated & they said the same DO NOT ROLL as what said above can occur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 sadly the above happened to mine but I had been warned it could happen. Wish I had gone for the cut and treat option now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycTT Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Ok, cheers for the heads up guys. I'll maybe have to investigate the cut and treat option now - any ideas on costs for this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAT Inter Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Ive had to fit spacers to get my wheels to clear my new brakes, and now the rear wheels are catching the arches, so I need to get the arches rolles. Does anyone know where abouts in Scotland I could be this done? Gary Any chance, you bought ur wheels from DP Motorsport? I would ditch the spacers. I have run them on previous cars and had no issue but my supra didnt like them at all, handled like a bag of arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED_ROCKET Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 yeah we had arch enemy out to roll ours he warned us straight off that we most likely suffer ripples and paint cracking,so we went for the cut back option come to think of it i aint finished treating it yet best get onto that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED_ROCKET Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 well arch enemy did it with an angle grinder he ground it back to the edge of the spot welds no further as its double skinned and they could seperate i did see what he put on it but told me to get some under body sealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycTT Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Wheels were bought from Demon Tweeks. Just put a Stoptech/Brembo brake set up on the car and there wasnt enough clearence width-wise. Every time I do something to the car its always a complete headache! Im tempted to put it back in the garage and but a 996 Carerra instead!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
