Has anyone got one, or any recommended garages? (I'm Fareham way).

The drag radials are pushing the limits and I need to move the arch lip well away as they are making occasional contact and cutting the tire wall... Ouch!!!

Cheers chaps thumbup

I've got one which I hire out. See

Deposit covers what I paid for it, but weekly charge is cheap and MyHermes are well under a tenner each way.

PM moi if you're interested.

Not that difficult, just take it very slowly, a little stretch at a time, and use a heat gun to try and stop the paint cracking, etc. There will be something using one of these on YouTube.

As I say, less than a tenner each way by courier, Pay Pal for the deposit, a tenner a week (or part of) hire. So if you get on with it you can do a car for £30, while most folk using the same tool on your car will charge £60+ for a couple of arches, or the tools retail for about £130.

Cheers for that, but I've found a garage less than a mile away from my house who will do it for me. I'd only balls it up anyway and need a re-spray!!! laugh
