they bolt a special roller on your wheel hubs (with the wheel off) and carefuly stretch the arches so that your wheels dont rub.

Think thats the way. ::)

If you do want to get them done. Try http://www.styledynamix.co.uk/. They do them for ?40 per corner.

I rolled mine with a hammer, just stuck the plastic arches on again afterwards after some trimming of the plastic. Now it doesnt rub ;D

I painted around the arch with underseal before i stuck it back on. No chance of rusing through that, its like painting tarmac
