Mine are perfectly flat all round. But with me, James and Will on the case, the car was always goin to be lows n wide wheel ready. Lol.

James used a grinder to get all the sealant out, not a wire wheel. So behind there is totally clean. Then with patience, go around the arch hammering it from underneath. Give it a go, but had patience or you will have wavy arches.

E46 arch lip is a hole other ball game compared to the ours. E36 are piss easy to get flat.

We'll get chopping on yours when your aloud to scene

Derby, nice and central. Had them rolled, so another 10mm clearance but still getting problems lol

[Anonymoose]

^ You sure they removed the sealant bro? I got at least 20-30mm out of my roll... The metal is thick as fuck but if rolled comes out this much automatically. Next step is a flair which can be done nicely with a roller...

Me confuse

[Jorge]

Yeah, watched him do it, but he didn't roll the entire arch flat - refused to do it as it causes problems. No matter what I said. Ball ache or what. Paid decent money too through arch enemy.

[Anonymoose]

Ohhh, arch enemy did mine too, good job second time round after he did one side well and the other side bs, rang them and he came out again and evened them up...then jacked my car on the abs sensor wire and fucked it they worked things out in the end though...get a BIG hammer

haha no worries guys
I attacked the arches again on saturday Sam with a big hammer, spent 2 and a half hours on one side! only managed the one so i need to do the other this weekend, but i have gained a whole finger width more than how you first did it briefly, and the outer skin is virtually untouched.
But yes, 2 and a half hours of repetitive hammering and i had to stop otherwise i would have lost my patience and just rushed and fucked up.

Sam how are the winters going right now?

Shogunner i think 17s would definitely look too small on an estate. yours looks well nice from the sig

Anonymoose and Jorge i think we need to discuss arches at the feb uk stance meet haha seems to be a hot topic right now! im kinda lucky cos im bagged so i dont really need flat arches for rolling clearance, but i deff need to sort them for my next wheels if i still want to drive how i prefere to atm

Cheers JowE
