Rolled arches......

[pickle2000]

I have currently got a Mk1 Nova Merit, with 15" Dare RLS alloys (195/45 tyres) and wish to get it lowered. I am down in Cambridge, and am looking for a body shop that can roll the rear arches for me. Can anyone recommend a good company (down south, preferably near Cambridge) that can do the work for me?

BTW how much would I expect to pay to get the arches rolled?
And will the rear panels need to be resprayed after they have been rolled?

Cheers

do they really need rolling? if ur offset is 45-49mm then it shouldnt matter, espesh with a merit

[pickle2000]

The offset is 42 (I think), and being a Mk1 the rear arches are a little narrower. I am not totally sure if rolling them is the best thing, but I don't think that the wheels will go into the arches as it stands at the mo. So I need to do something to the arches in order to get the wheels in....... I could still do with a company down near cambs (that someone recommends), and could get them to have a look over it, and see what they recommend.

just grind them back and cover them with underseal. easy.:D

Sounds like a bit of a bodge, just grinding them back........ still not sure if the wheels will fit under them if I just grind off the lip....

why not get the wheels machined down to et49
