I don't have any, but you can buy them from Frost for £265 which yes is expensive, but then maybe you could hire them out after buying as arch rolling is generally about £30 an arch so could recoup your money, or even offer a service at car shows or something, only an idea.

I know you like to do things properly but the budget way is a rolling pin against the tyre.

This is of course if you are only folding the lip on the wings and not bending the whole thing.

Just a thought?

Heat the area up prior to rolling, or the paint will more than likely come off.

When it comes to paint, this guy knows what hes talking about...

Richie,

Can you do a guide on here on detailing a car properly?

I found a company called Archenemy to come over and roll the arches on my 500. They are base in Heartfordshire but will travel a reasonable distance. First class job, excellent price at £65.00 for the pair including travel to me in N/W London which is amazing considering it took 2 and a half to three hours! and the results are perfect.

You can contact Phill on 07900 672117 or have a look at his web site: www.archenemy.co.uk

They will also do flares for a little more money.
