Looking to squeeze some wide track rubber onto the civic and need to move the lip over on the rear arches.
Body shops seem to charge alot with no garentee of sucsess/no paint damage.
Where as a tool and heat gun comes in at under 50 quid

+1 for this, here's a few of the most popular methods and they do work, just not a massive difference.

up until recently I had one of the proper arch rolling tools.

I never actually used it though lol. I bought it to do arches, and then had to bend the arches out the way before I could use the arch roller.

Heat and taking your time is key, plus make sure the arch is clean in the fold, and then underseal it or similar.

Or fuckup the paint and its a good excuse to get your pink car repainted
