Good fender roller in GTA??

[asbrr]

Hate to be posting this, as I didn't want to mess with fenders, but am having some mild rubbing issues in the rear. Still hoping I can get this fixed via alignment, but may have to resort to a mild roll of the inner rear lip (the part that is angled.

Anyone had good experience with a local shop doing this?
How does one prevent the paint from cracking and thus attracting corrosion in a part of the car that gets badly exposed to moisture and salt?!? (Inner rear fender)
How much does this typically cost (just for the rear)?

Thx in advance.

360 Auto in markham did my fenders on my vw and it turned out great. I don't have any answers for any of your other questions, you'll have to ask the guys at 360.

Thanks. I'll give them a ring. I've heard rolling fenders on a 1 series is not as easy as other cars...

Anyone have experience with doing this on a 1 series in the GTA?

The other place that does fender rolling, specifically on BMW's is Stance Factory in Ajax. Can't vouch for their work on fender rolling, but they did a bunch of work on my 135 in the spring and I was very pleased.

Thanks, will keep that in mind.

Just called them, apparently they don't do this anymore...oh well.

Huh, bummer. Sorry about the bad info. Best of luck.

No worries - just booked an appointment with Jason @ Stance Factory next week, bit a long drive but I just want to get it done, the rubbing is annoying the hell out of me ! Will report on results.

Got the rears rolled by Stance Factory in Ajax. Jason is a very professional guy, work was done promptly and properly. Great experience overall, too bad they are a bit far for me otherwise I'd use them for other work on the car also.

Really nice people to deal with and know their stuff, so I highly recommend them.

As for my rubbing issues...well they are mostly solved, rubbing on the fender is gone, but I have a mild rub on the liner...ugh. These cars SUCK big time for space in the back, and I have don't have a super aggressive fitment either.

Frustrating. Going to take the wheels off tomorrow and see what else can be done...otherwise I'll just live with it as it's only in quite aggressive conditions. Just bugs me that it's there and I know it's happening.

What wheel and tire spec you running on the rears?

Hey - link to my setup and details:

Not an especially aggressive fitment by any means compared to what others have done, so I was quite surprised I had rubbing even after aggressive alignment. The tires are not especially wide like Michelin PSS either...so again, was surprised.

All is ok now, just get a mild rub on the fender liner in very deep / high speed / high load dips. It's only about 10% the volume of a fender rub and is quite rare so I'm ok with that. I can see light scrub marks on the finder liner at the front part of the rear liners on both sides, so I know where it's touching at least.
