Well its more the fact that your sigma has a few years on it an using one of those guard rolling tools is rather likely to crack your paint anyway... They are good for new stuff as the paint wont be a as old and the panels are much thinner so bend with less force, older stuff they are a bit hit and miss.
Hell ive pumped the rears of my galant with a bottle jack against the chassis rail and a bit of wood lol. When the car gets painted all that stuff will get fixed up so I'm not too worried. But i got +10 13x7's and a scorpian diff thats wider than the galant diff by 40 or 60 mm or something...
The paint is already stuffed around the wheel arch from continually having the tyre grab the guard lip. And then me having to hammer it back into shape.
Also a problem is that the metal is double thickness at the lip because of the steel inner guard. Not clip on plastic inner as in newer cars
Here is a couple of other which have been on the Australian ebay recently but i don't see all that much difference between them and the first one apart from the colour of one of the adjusting knobs. He seems to have pretty good feedback for everything else but for only a 7 day warranty I'm a bit dubious about it coming from Taiwan.
They have the eastwood fender rollers available over on the US ebay and i'm still awaiting a reply to if they would send over here. I don't even know if they would be that much better and i suspect shipping would be a killer.
I'me even contemplating just going to the scrap metal yard and getting the bits and pieces to fabricate my own except all i have is a crappy arc welder. I should be able to cut everything needed here i think with angle grinders and drill presses and just get a spacer to use as a adapter plate.
