    Wheel arch rolling

    i often get asked for this, but ive just had an idea

    if i buy the equipment to roll your arches - without cracking the paint

    would people be interested in

    A - having the arches rolled by us?

    B - hiring the equipment on a weekly basis?

    thoughts please

    Sounds like not a good a investment. You'd be blamed for people not being able to do it right. Isnt it a skill?

    yes there is a skill to it, but there would also be a disclaimer with the kit!

    the arch roller can be adjusted at 1mm progressions so it would be upto the user how quick he proceeds

    i just thought of the hire option, as people are based all over and its a long drive for a few hours work

    Punto arch rolling was quite common in bygone days when everyone wanted 17s.

    I thought the market died out really for it.

    I ran spacers on the front of mine on the ledas it only really hit the inside of the arch liner. Not the arch itself.

    And to be honest, lowering more than 40mm really aggravates the drive shaft and the antiroll bar is in contact with the arms. It just makes everything wear out that much faster.
