   Done the fronts now and looks a milllion times better with just normal red paint on stuff. I sprayed them with ag engine cleaner and use a sponge and hot water and washing liqiud and wernt even that bad. Took me less than 5 mins each side. Just need to get some more paint to do rears.

    Why you think that mate? Saw a 106 on here who had blue arches on blue car and could see the arches through the wheels and look very good. Will see when get it back on wheels.

    yeah i'll have to wait and see what it looks like when you get the wheels back on
