I rolled my arches in the paddock at a sprint after driving up with my my wide tyres that were slightly rubbing on the motorway - full travel it would have been dangerous so had to do it or sprint on crappy road tyres. Fellow competitors lent me a rubber mallet and a bit of wood, 10 mins later arches rolled!

Do the fronts first - easier to replace if you get it Pete Tong

i will get my brother to take some and post them on . would also say that if any body needs their arches rolled, they should try and borrow a roller and attempt it themselves as i dont think its worth paying £140 to get someone else to do it. a bit of patience and the right tool = good results

just took a couple of snaps hopefully you can see the results !
unfortunately there were a few small cracks in the paint before we started which was a shame but not much we could do about it





no more rubbing which was the goal
