right, after stressing my head off about being ripped off 50 quid (which while being unemployed and jobhunting, and trying to run the arsing car on last resorts is pretty bad) by IMPACT CAR REPAIRS in harrogate i need to find someone on here, or if anyone knows of anyone who could roll/flare my arches for me to stop them rubbing for a smaller price.
all the garage did was fill up the gap between the plastic bumper and the metal shell on the inside of the arch  with some plastic filler stuff and smooth the metal lips.
my other last resort is to get me mate to angle grind the inside away and then clip on the plastic arches, but i dont want a chewed car if i sell it

yeh get some cheap 13'' bangers on for the minute, if you have money problems the last thing you should be doing is worrying about arches.
