Guard rolling Melbourne

Postby Juicy HiC » Sun Sep 27, 2015 7:26 pm

I'm looking to get my guards rolled and was wondering if anyone has had it done in Melbourne with good results?
Live in the western suburbs so would prefer that side of town but I'll go over the bridge if need be.

Just a thought....
If you have the time, it's worthwhile doing it yourself.
Guard rollers and heat guns are (relatively) inexpensive, and as long as you have no bog/bodyfiller in your guards, and take your time, you will be fine.
Plenty of youtube instructional vids.
Both meanmx and I have rolled our guards on our NB's.

I initially did it for the stock racing harts and the 205/40-17 but with 25mm spacers.
I have since gone to an 8.25 rim +25 with 205/40 and 205/45 and it is mint.
I also have modified guard liners where meanmx just removed his.
I am low(ish) too....
