    Seeing as all the last posts were lost, Rags, I didn't get a chance to read your reply about where you got your arches done?

    Anyone know where this can be done? They're already rolled, but rear tyres are catching (8x15s on 195/45s) when the car is loaded up.

    hi andyD,

    i got my arches cut, rewelded and extended.
    The orginal arch was cut, the double skinned arch was welded up strengthened and then more metal was welded and cut into shape. The finish is awesome and lets just say i got all the work done for not much more than 200 quid!!

    but then that was mates rates!!

    if you want to get it done i think the going rate is about 200 quid per arch as its a shed load of work!

    cheers
