I like the look of R Tec.

Grinder? You cannot be serious?

Thanks guys.

is the arch rolling for a corsa b? if so.. you cant technically roll the arch on a corsa.

Grinder is the only way. not a big job at all.

what you can do which is what we done on my mates corsa - get a scaffold pole about 2 and half inchs thick and wedge it between the arch and tyre, lift it up then he drove forward and it pulled the metal lip out. This gives more clearance than just cutting it because it pushes out the plastic trim abit aswell. Gained enough clearance to deck it on et35 rims with 50profiles and no rubbing

take the plastic arch off and get an angel grinder and have away at it! Then use some sandpaper to get a smooth edge and put your arch cover back on.

Thanks all for the replies.

Three companies I found that do it:

Archenemy (mobile) - £80 rear arches
Style Dynamix (Hayes) - £80 rear arches
R Tec (St Albans) - £125 rear arches

As above, R Tec are the most expensive. I spoke to a guy called Shaheed at Style Dynamix, and he did sound on the ball.

I am going to try and get Archenemy in, but if that don't work out, I will take it to Style Dynamix.

Cheers again.

Aron, I am in Enfield.

I'll bear that in mind Jake .

If I can't get the main man in, I will go to S.D.
