    I know that K1LLS did his but there was part of the molding that is missing. Can you get this piece from a GL?

    I want to roll my guards it can be done but with the arches it still seems like it wasn't rolled at all
    you dont understand rolling the guards!!

    they do not make them look fat! thats something else, like pumping the guards bigger.

    you say you wont notice it with the arches on, even if you took them off you wont notice it. wen u roll the guards, it fold in that edge bit only.

    I'm not trying to pump the guards only trying to stop it from rubbing.

    The rivets in the arches are what are hitting the tyres, if I get rid of the guards and then roll the guards and leave it like that then they won't rub and it will be stealth.
    I'm soo euro even my missus is shaved...

    u cant roll the guards properly with the arches on because they dont bend inwards like that metal does. ud need to trim the inner edge off them but that would probly just look ugly as a hat full of arseholes. removal is a better option
