    Hey guys just curious if anyone would have any clue how to prepare this for clear coat of paint. I cant rub it down with sandpaper, i cant thinners it, i cant do anything. The only thing i could think of to get rid off all the fingerprints/ oils and dirt was wipe it with a warm clothe and soap. Would that be good enough to make the clear stick?

    Happy to report i bought two front 175/60 and two rear 175/65 for a decent price (second hand tyres) and the dude fitted them on. Pretty happy with the service. Cost me next to nothing for 4 good/ok tyres and fitment balance etc.

    The car looks apsolutely dope with the wheels and i got a boner looking at it. Will show pics this weekend as i have too much study

    You are all so lucky to witness my good news and bad news this fine evening.

    Good news, i have got pics of the car with the rims on which ook really good white.
    Bad news, well it isnt bad at all actually, just the problems with living in the western suburbs, i was attending a friends bday party, and people who wernt invited tried to crash it, they got asked to leave and got angry and smashed the surrounding cars.
    My headlight is gone
    My windshield is gone
    My bonnet is gone
    My passenger mirror is gone
    My rear quarter panel window is gone

    F'wits.

    Sorry to hear it.

    At least the parts damaged are easy to unbolt and/or replace. Still annoying though.
