The subtle modder Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 id have them rolled unless you are planning on paint, 9 times out of 10 when bending somehting quite thick or in this case double lipped the paint will crack wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXXXtreme arosa Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) just get the angle grinder out my arches took an hour each and i repainted the ground edge and waxoiled it! if your gona have something bodged may as well bodge it yourself! thats my view. anyway its an AROSA they dont rust... 12year warranty! galvanised! cost me 10 quid for me to have 1ltr of paint properly matched style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> by my local paint shop Edited May 31, 2007 by eXXXtreme arosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I would imagine the 12 year bodywork warrenty only applies if you haven't taken an angle grinder to your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> not having the car sucks ass , but they needed to fix the paint after they rolled it so they said when i dropped it off this morning that it may be friday evening just to give them time if the paint needed attention . so i gave them my mobile number and told them to give me a call when its done . so i am assuming that by them not calling today means that they had to fix the paint then . oh well , 1 day down 1 to go and i have it back style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> and then the new wheels can go back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 yeah i finally managed to get a local body shop to do them for me , rather than using a roller they pannel beat the arches to shape style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> well happy with the outcome style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 £50 for both back arches , they managed to heat the paint enough that it didnt crack and it made the metal plyable enough to bend easier . on the underside in the arches were you cant see we sealered so incase the paint cracks style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> there was a slight crack in the paint but they fixed that for me and you cant tell it cracked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
