   my saxo is a flat arch 5 door the alloys i have on atm ar 15's meaning if i have to much weight in the back (1-2 people in the back) the arches scratch on the tyres and rip at the tyre which has left me in the debate strip it or not! but thing is do i strip it and only take one person around or do i just get my arches sorted and rolled or something to allow me to have passengers in the back because if i strip it would it look stupid having back doors but no seats
   
   can anybody guide me to my decision!!!!

   Stripping it wont fix your rubbing problems mate. Get the arches sorted

   It might stop it a bit but big bumps it will hit. Depends on what you want your car to look like you could always seam weld the doors shut

   That's strange. I'm 2.4k on my own insurance for a Mk2 VTR.

    Back to the question: sort the arches out! Stripping it will do nothing except make it more audible when you do lmao. Sort arches / use larger torsion bars.
