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.

yeah i noticed you ground out all the sealant stuff but i couldnt tell how James managed to flatten them?
sam with the blue 36 on throwing stars grinded out all the sealant with a wire wheel which worked perfectly, and then he used a club hammer but it just wasnt getting them flat as we had liked. it certainly made a difference though, i gained a few extra mm clearance but i know when the new wheels go on im going to need them as flat as possible :/

Yes dude.
Nice to see you grace these pages.
Beemer is on point. Have a look thru my build and see how we did the rear arches on mine. As they r much beefier than vw ones.
Look forward to new wheels.

haha cheers everyone
yeah i dont want a sport kit etc as thats not the point of this car, its all about the air, stance [and soon to be better wheels] i may do a few slight changes along with a full respray, but thats it as far as body work will go
I just really need to sort the arches and get them flat as possible. now would a roller work? i had my Polo arches rolled flat and pulled but the bmw arches seem alot more hefty! :/

My jaw actually dropped on this one and that NEVER happens.
I'm such a fan. Please don't get a kit, it looks so great as it is. Maybe projector headlights and a better exhaust (the single outlet is kinda sacrilege) but it is on the money.

Yeah i think it has more stance, like no reverse rake. Hopefully when the new wheels come this will be solved. Looking at around the end of the month till i get them, pretty excited
