If you look at you're rear arches there is about an inch of lip. Rolling refers to the way round arches are modified. For us this means a panel beater hammering them up as they are straight. Only need to do the fronts.

dont be tempted top hammer them up yerself either - unless you lnow what you are doing.

It all depends on the quality of the arch - if its rusty, knocking it up can fracture the metal. You can also damage the paint - you need to clean the arch fully, making sure you heat the paint just slightly so it will bend - if it flakes off you need to repaint it (cant see it anyway) and you need to seal it proiperly using grey stripe or similar otherwise water will gather in the lip and rot the feck out of them from the inside!

:?

Its about ?50 a side to have them done professionally - just make sure you tell them to seal them too!
