Hey

Just wondering if anyone on here has tried rolling/flaring their guards? And how did you go about achieving this? I'm curious as to how this is done. Have a good one.

Thanks

Troy

If you mean removing the lip around the inside of the guard, a rubber mallet is your friend.

Roll cage pipe and three big mates.

cut the inside lip with an angle grinder. Pull out on guard till its in the correct position. Then remove gaurd from car and weld in a steel rod thus sealing the inner lip where the cuts were made.

decent tyre shops will have one of these

spray a heap of rust converter around inside the boot/wheelarch, before you roll the guards.

i can't say i would recommend any way other than a guard rolling machine, no point in welding or panelbeating with their complications unless skilled in the area of course :D

 

apparently the paint is heated , so when rolled it has less chance of cracking.

and it comes out all nice and smooth for about $50 a corner.

Thanks to all. Think I'll try and get the school to invest in a guard roller :D And paint doesn't matter as the KE55 doesn't have any atm.

Thanks

I used:

 

1 x Maglite Torch

1 x Crazy friend to hold said torch

1 x use of vehicles engine to drive forwards and backwards slowly

 

Resulting in....

 

1 x set of flared guards that clear my 17's

1 x set of flared guards with heaps of paint missing :D

 

So yeah...use a machine

or just do it before you paint the car

LOL! That would be the best option.

Thanks

1x heatgun

1x mallet

 

heat then bash

great idea. then you can end up with guards that look like some kind of deformed dodecahedron

enough with your f@$king attitude again man. It really is getting old.

Actually, I thought it was quite funny.. :lmao:

 

Stop taking yourself so seriously dude.
