That's pretty optimistic!

Hopefully the 'stripes' on the side are just vinyl or decals that can be removed. Not sure why anyone would put those wheels on a C4

Holy cow. I am going to get some stick on stripes, a rattle can of blue paint and get my 89 vert on the market if I can get that kind of money!
