i know which one you mean... saw it in the rabbit (club gti magazine) might be worth a try emailing them ?

saw one on ebay that was made out of a car jack.

You need a wheel spacer, a bracket and the jack.

Weld the bracket to the wheel spacer (the spacer will slot onto the hub)

weld the other end of the bracket to the jack.  needs to be in a certain position so when you open the jack it flaires the arch if you get me so far?

you also need some sort of roller that attaches to the jack to roll the metal arch neatly.

hope that gives you some clue mate.

yes, thats the one, as previously shown in the rabbit, and yes your right mate too, well described, but I need one that's ready to go, someone out there makes one, I've been told to try the Edition 38 website as somebody on there apparently makes it.
