yeah professional rolling is good you could always remove plastic inners and then beat in the arch lip that always gives more room.

I managed to remove my arches because they were bonded on, i then ground the arches and the metal arches down myself. There was no-way i could put them back on so i sent them into a bodyshop, he sprayed both rear arches fully and refitted my arches all for £150
