Title: Replacing rear wheel arch sills on rolled arches
Post by: lavster on 24 February 2012, 08:51

Hi, Can anyone reccomend the best way for me to do this?
I have at purchased the VW arch set for the car but the arches were rolled by the previous owner.

Is there any very strong adhesive someone can reccomend or should I really get them bolted in?

Cheers mate,

Will they still sit flush even though the arches are rolled?

Yeah I rolled mine and pulled them.

I used a lot of masking tape too. Pull the tape really tight. I think I left it to set over 24 hours
