Had my wheel arches rolled yesterday so that my new wider wheels won't rub, used these guys as they come to you : http://www.archenemy.co.uk
Couldn't have been more impressed with the care taken and the end result. The guy that came out to me was Dan as he was the most local to me, used to work for mclaren and it showed through the care taken. Anyway here are a few pics :
Rear arch rolled.
Completed with sealant to stop it rusting.
Front in progress.
Done!
Here are a few pics today after a proper wash:

i have an s60 t5 in olive green too which i think is quite rare. not seen one in my area ever ,i love the colour of your wheels they go really well with the car what colour is it .do you think 18" pegs would look good with that colour.
Kerry_T-5R (Monday 11th June 2012)
They are anthracite. If you speak to Lepsons or one of the other big wheel re-furbers you can pretty much pick any colour you like. I had my old titans done in TVR anthracite and they looked pretty good!
A few people have done their pegs in anthracite and personally I think they look nicer than the standard silver colour.
Cheers

Similar to the QBM drop links I tried a while back - completely knackered within a year. You must put rubber boots on them ASAP or the grit/dirt will destroy them.

Will look into that, would be a bit dissapointed if they wore out in a year as they were £200!
Thanks for the kind words - glad you enjoyed the read!
You too Gav, will be definitely going to a few more meets once next spring comes around - car will be garaged for 6 months at the end of Nov!
Cheers Lee, yours was similar to mine in looks at least! I agree with all of that, just need a bit more power once funds allow. Am going to have a break from spending on it for a few months!!
Cheers for the compliments
