have you rolled your arches ready for some lows?

No because I'd have to get rid of the gt arches wouldn't I ???

No.

Depending on the widths and offsets of the wheels you may only have to roll the rear arches. The only issue is you have to bond the arches on (sikaflex etc) as there is no arch lip to rivet them to.... obviously (as it has been rolled up). You can also cut away the lip on the arches then giving you even more clearance. Bonding them on means you have to make the decision that you always want arch trims though. Don't know why you'd want to remove them anyway as it looks sweet with them on.

Mine are going to have to bonded on at the rear due to someone attempting to roll my rear arches on the GT :-(

GT's are enough fun on the injection system i could neer be tempted by carbs.

Looks sweet :thumbsup:

Cheers mate ... The wheels were specially made for the mk3 polos so the don't stick out at all .... And yeah i actually prefer the car on fuel injection instead of bike carbs :)

I would recomend rolling your arches as it will help you get lower without any issues but make sure you protect your arches from rust. I've had this issue with my G when i took the arch trim off the back. they had been pikey rolled, rusted up, bit of blue hammerite over that then stuck on with tiger seal. yay.
