Ok ive got a few problems :)
firstly the lacquer (or what i think is the lacquer) is peeling off on my alloys. there probably a couple of yrs old now. is there way of prolonging this process or to stop it all together

secondly i need to roll my rear two arches- ive got 17"s on a corsa b 98, they rub with two people in the back. ive heard you can do it yourself but not too confident with stuff like that.. so can you have it done at any garage and how much will it cost abouts..

Finally the steering is out of allignment... pulling to the left. could this be due to a flat-ish tyre or something more serious??

Thanks

aint sure on the first one
if u want ur arches doin it'l cost around £25 per side from any decent bodyshop
and the steering could be due to ur tyre bein under inflated or punctured or it could just be your trackin ur best bet is taking it to ats or a garage like that and get them to check it for you usual price is £20 :thumbs:

rite ok thanks

one more thing, the archers are plastic sooo if i get the arch rolled and then put the original tyres back on (when i sell it in the future) will it be noticed??
