You can hire a proper arch rolling tool from ebay, it bolts on to the hub via the wheel studs and you just gently roll the arches to your desired flare.

rear arch is flat though so the rollers dont work needs proper panel beating thats why loons are better the rolers work lol

You can use a bit of wood with cloth on it and a bit of wood behind a bottle jack then you flair the arch out by jacking the arch slowly away from the body, lots of golf/bmw guys do it..

Did my rear arches with the bottle jack technique. Didn't mean to go uber flare but just ended up with it. Needed a bit of filler to get looking nice though
