hi i dont know if this is the right section, but just in case anyone is interested, my local mechanic is offering me a special deal on arch rolling, charging just £35 per corner, as oppose to his normal price of £45.

i looked around and the average price i found was between £45 and £50 per corner. i had mine done today and im really pleased with the quality of work.

if youre interested, let me know and i'll arrange it for you.

Think R-tec do it for £40 a corner too! Probably cheaper if you go see Tall Paul with the red G60Turbo*



(you know that red blur on the outside lane of the A41 last month)

even 35 is a bit steep int it?!? what i did was get a professional panel beating block (just a curved block of steel) and a heat gun.
put the heat on the arch til it goes soft then wrap a rag around the block and hit it in an upward fashion Shocked, really not hard or time consuming, i did it on a mates corrola but without the heat and the paint cracked but only slightly then we just touched it up save a shed load of money and get to learn something.
