All comments welcome

Nice tidy car mate! Yeh arches could do with rolling on the back mate :)

dont roll em flare those arches

I Have a arch roller but don't know what to do yet how would I go about flaring them

flaring properly you would need a good guide my guide is smack it with a bodyshop hammer

thats a really tiday-looking car mate, i like. i also like the wheels, alot

Got my front tyres fitted 175/50/14s on a 8j rim

Also got me some basketball centre caps for the Steffans

flaring properly you would need a good guide my guide is smack it with a bodyshop hammer

If your flaring your arches you'll need it in the body shop after because of the structure of the arch on polo's its not easy to do and it will crack the paint and distort the arch because of the rivet holes for the plastic arches.

rolling them will pull it out slightly maybe around 8-10mm from standard.

Rolling isn't as easy as it looks and generally most guides are rubbish

Get in touch with arch enemy, they can advise you on your best options, and do the job if you want it doing professionally!

As of next week ill be the agent for Derbyshire, although this wont be help to you location wise

hope this helps :)

Fair comment it was low before the wheels went on lol had to raise it due to scrubbing and the low and slow sticker on the front has now gone now also the slammed one is coming off
