    Removing tyre from alloy?

    Hey guys, I want to remove the tyre (or whats left of it!) from my alloy, after I had a blow out a few weeks ago. Any ideas on the best way to do this? It seems theres some kind of glue on the edge's meaning its really difficult to get off! Thanks in advance!

    I've done something really stupid :(

    ...Bought a phatnoise for my A3, when I've got a chorus II stereo. So I dont think its compatable (or at least I can't get the box to work!) If i bought a Concert stereo could I just switch it for mine, and more to the point, would the phatnoise box work?

    Turtlewax bug and tar remover

    This stuff is completely rubbish! It was just as effective leaving suds on the area and wiping off after it has soaked in. Are all tar removers like this one? Any that anyone can recommend?

    What would you do?

    Scenario: Parallel parking into a fairly tight spot and you accidently skim the car infront with your front right end (the car you hit happens to be, say, a 2006 VW golf). There is a hairline scratch on the golf's rear left bumper which could be touched up with some touch-up paint and a little...
