Rolled Wings

[YellowTurbo]

to avoid as much damage to paint as poss, where the wing will be bent at its extreme, use a stanley knife to score the paint where the wing will be folded, and make the inicision as deep as possible really.

once bent this can be touched up

remember though if you score the paint, once the lip is bent and sealed you need to repaint over the score or it will rust! Use a touch up stick.

Ask any local body shop (yellow pages) for advice.

I presume yer doing this coz of big wheels?

Why not do it yerself? I did - straight fwd getting wings off (need to remove bumpers, then all I did was make lots of small incisions with a hack saw along the edge (about 40), then gently folded the lip up so not to bend or kink the wing. the bent metal will keep the arch strong. Once bent up and flush (you may want to use a hammer with light taps to flatten totally (support other side with bubble pack), seal the cut areras with hammerite or similar and thats it
