A bodyshop will charge anywhere from £100-£200 for it, but become a premium member and use the how to guide and do it yourself.

iv got the max power haynes manual with the guide on how to do it but im just not that confident in cutting my wings like the guide says!
im lookin to fit 17x 7.5 not the 17x8 like it says in the manual.

did you have to remove ur plastic wheel arches then mark and cut your arches as close to the holes as u could like the book said that is the only bit i dont really wana do!
what size were the wheels you fitted m8?
