I de-arched today
« on: 24 April 2011, 19:17 »
After all the rust stories I've bean reading I thought Id better start checking  :huh:

Good news so far though  :smiley:



Side skirts and door trim next then touch in scratches and get the polisher out while it's all off.

Dont think so bud but a might trim arches before they go back on, ready for spacers or new rims and coilovers.

I took mine off had a minor bit of surface on one rear wheel arch which ive treated.Thing I found with mine when I took them off was the arch left like a line which wouldnt polish out but im not into the cl look anyway so they went back on yours looks tidy though  :wink:
