Guard Rollers in Vic - recommendations?

[ENGINR]

I need to lip the rear guards on The Coupe as my tyres are scrubbing after putting my EVO6 rims on.

I've left a message with Gavin from Low Down Guard Rolling and am going to hear back from him tomorrow, but I would like to know if anybody else can recommend other crowds so that I can get a few quotes and ensure I don't pay more than I have to.

tyre factory did my rear guards, now all the paint is chipping off em, luckily its only the bit the rolled inside so u cant really see. arent they suppossed to heat it up to stop this from happening? maybe they didnt heat it.

Only sometimes u get away with paint not cracking.

Most occassions there will be some sort of cracking of paint.

works a charrrmmm

as as said....use a heat gun to avoid major paint cracking

 

[DOUGMO]

definatley need a heat gun to save the paint and go easy

 

[ENGINR]

Well, the rear guards turned out quite good, he took his time and exercised alot of care when doing the job. Used a heat-gun on it at regular intervals to keep the paint soft before rolling.

Def recommend you consider giving Low Down Guard Rolling a call if you're looking to lip/roll your guards.

I think I still may have a scrubbing problem though as I can hear something that sounds like rubbing when driving the car. I'd shredded the top of the outer face of the rear tires driving it back from Shep when I did the 5-stud conversion, so I need to swap the mint front tires with the shredded back tires and see if the problem has actually gone away! I might have to tackle that farkin' rear bumper bar tab or something!?
