hey guys

The rear arches on my car are pretty shabby and are going to need to be filled and sprayed, its not too bad as all the metal is still there, they are just a little rusty, question is how much roughly would i be lookin at to have the two arches treated, filled and sprayed?

looking to buy some 15's with low profile tyres in the comming month too, car is lowered 40, will the arches need to be rolled?

much appriciated!

should cost much
as i done mine my self it only cost me ?50

if you get it done by a body shop u porb looking at some from 200 +

if you get the rite et nuimber on the wheels it shouldnt need rolling or anything like that


hope it helps

it might be cheaper
depends on where you go
thats what i got quoted and thought sod that i`ll do it my self

to be onist with you it really easy to do yourself and just get some one to spray it for you
sprayiny is the hardest part i think

ok, im off to a couple of bodyshops 2morow to get quotes, as i said the metal is still all there but a little rotten in places so the lip is not very smooth, what would it take to remould the lip?what did you do to yours?
was it a simple sand, fill and spray job or what?

cheers!
