boofis Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) Hey Just wondering if anyone on here has tried rolling/flaring their guards? And how did you go about achieving this? I'm curious as to how this is done. Have a good one. Thanks Troy Edited August 31, 2005 by boofis Quote
coln72 Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 If you mean removing the lip around the inside of the guard, a rubber mallet is your friend. Quote

Corolla_Kid Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 cut the inside lip with an angle grinder. Pull out on guard till its in the correct position. Then remove gaurd from car and weld in a steel rod thus sealing the inner lip where the cuts were made. Quote
Super Jamie Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 decent tyre shops will have one of these http://www.guardroller.com.au/ Quote
Felix Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 spray a heap of rust converter around inside the boot/wheelarch, before you roll the guards. Quote
styler Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) i can't say i would recommend any way other than a guard rolling machine, no point in welding or panelbeating with their complications unless skilled in the area of course :D apparently the paint is heated , so when rolled it has less chance of cracking. and it comes out all nice and smooth for about $50 a corner.

boofis Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Posted September 1, 2005 Thanks to all. Think I'll try and get the school to invest in a guard roller :D And paint doesn't matter as the KE55 doesn't have any atm. Thanks Troy Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 I used: 1 x Maglite Torch 1 x Crazy friend to hold said torch 1 x use of vehicles engine to drive forwards and backwards slowly Resulting in.... 1 x set of flared guards that clear my 17's 1 x set of flared guards with heaps of paint missing :D So yeah...use a machine Quote
Super Jamie Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 or just do it before you paint the car Quote
boofis Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Posted September 2, 2005 LOL! That would be the best option. Thanks Troy Quote
Gaijin Doru Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 1x heatgun 1x mallet heat then bash Quote
Super Jamie Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 great idea. then you can end up with guards that look like some kind of deformed dodecahedron Quote
Gaijin Doru Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 enough with your f@$king attitude again man. It really is getting old. Quote
Redwarf Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 Actually, I thought it was quite funny.. :lmao: Stop taking yourself so seriously dude. Quote
