5g arch rolling...

[LewisH]

Ok, just scrolled through to page 7 and didn't find much.

My cousin has an arch roller, so we tryed it on me drokked arch... Looked drokking awesome! Was only a slight flare but worked a treat!

Only problem was... The arch liner... No longer fits.

Has anyone rolled the arches on a 5g? If so... What to do about the inner arch linings on the fronts?

There's nothing you can do unless you extend them to suit really.

EDIT: I'm talking about the plastic wheel arch liners by the way. Not sure if that's what you meant?

I'm doing it as we speak. Impossible to do it without breaking the paint but I'm respraying as I go if you care about rust.

Imo do it without flare 1st so its even. Then pull.

We only broke a tiny tiny bit of paint as we couldn't be bothered to use the heat gun

We did look at cutting the arch liner down a bit. Main reason I want it done, is because I want some awesome dished wheels on the lude. And even slightly wider wheels!

Might go see a local body shop for " how to " advice.

Hi LewisH, do you have any before and after pics?

I need to roll my arches and will also be trying to mod the existing arch liners to fit. I am also going to be pulling out my front bumpers towards the bottom so there should be an equal gap top to bottom when looking from the front. Are these arch rollers expensive to buy?

You can get them on ebay. Generally about £100. I imagine that's what a bodyshop would charge you to do them anyway, if not more... But then you do get their experience as well.

Ah, I just found them! Ordered one up, hopefully it'll be here tomorrow I need to replace the drivers front wing as I dented it leaning against it, i'll practice on that one first and go from there.
