SUPRALOOPY Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 There is a tool, but i would get it done as then you can get them to sort out the paint if it goes wrong.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 what does this actualy mean sorry for being think does it just mean a deeper wheel arch or is it wider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Jon, im running 315 section tyres, i removed the lip prior to repainting the car and i have no problems. rolling it is one possibility, but can distort the outer paintwork, which would be bad!

Jezz Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I got the grinder on my lip! Worked a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Jon, im running 315 section tyres, i removed the lip prior to repainting the car and i have no problems. rolling it is one possibility, but can distort the outer paintwork, which would be bad! the thought did cross my mind, and i guess if it was any other car the grinder would be all packed away by now, but wasn't too keen on the idea of chopping her up but i guess i could, Rob how much did you take off? does it weaken the wing structure at all?
