How much does it cost, and do they charge per arch?
Is there anywhere in Northamptonshire that does this service?
Cheers

Is this for a Corsa? If so, you can't really roll the arches per se, just trim the arch lining and debolt the arches.
If it not for a Corsa, sorry I'll get my coat...

its probably catchin on the arch lining,take off the wheel thats rubbing, see if u can see any marks on the lining n if so just trim that bit off, its unlikely that its gona b rubbing on the metal as 306's have loadsa room under the arch

how much does it cost to have your corsa arches trimmed then? will you need to put a kit over the top of it after or will it look tidy?

Um, you only trim the metal underneath the plastic and a bit of the back of the plastic so you can't see any difference from the outside...
Paid about £40 for mine I think... was done during lots of other work.... including bonding the arches back on (as I don't have any bolts now...)

If the wheels are the right offset they should honestly not scrub, but you've got to take into account the width of the wheel 6", 6.5", 7" etc...
If your buying the wheels brand new, you can have them made or they will make a proper wheel for that car.
If your buying them second hand chances are they seller will say they fit a Rover or something so they will fit any Vauxhall.
The P.C.D. may be right yes but not the offset.

Was thinking I don't see "related threads" as often these days, guess they're prem only now along with the search, but I still get them in Offday sub forums bizarrely.
