Wheel arch grinding


clay

Recommended Posts

Angle grinder, flap wheel, steady hand and a desire to butcher you car in favour of "stance", or "let's fit some cheap, heavy but FLASH rims", and having no regard for how it screws up the handling ;) Not rocket science, just removal of metal. Grind through the spot welds and structural integrity will go to hell in a hand cart.

The problem with grinding the lip is you start to mess with the structural integrity of the wing.

What mostly happens is that the wing becomes wavy, and is a nightmare to sort out.

 

Rolling the fronts can be done, but is a right pain in the a**e due to the mounting points for the liners.

 

The rears can be done easily
