LoL!! what a match though ...

Thanks, that's just what i needed! Nice howto btw :wink: Your very welcome, thanks for dropping a note. And as like woolgatherer , I also would like to know if there is a good website for new original Volvo parts. ermm, not that i know of, might be worth starting a new thread in the general section...

A de-badged white 480 spotted at the bottom of hope street just before 5pm tonight! Lovely and clean ... someone had a productive weekend!

Great find!!

Tell you something, you don't drape yourself over a 480 without a bikini!

Yeah .. great stuff!! Anymore anyone?

Great pics Yossarian, you should add them to the "Volvo 480's at night" thread!

what a colour to choose, what not furry black? if it was a factory colour, it could be called "fur-ocious green" (sorry, the best ones had already been taken!)

Welcome to the club. Looking forward to see those pic's!

Yeah, thats with 30mm drop.

Trouble is that there is no way of predicting which way they will turn as you approach (usually the opposite from your thoughts !! ). too true, and you never know what corner the middle of the road sheep are hiding behind. You need to upload your photo's onto the internet. You can do this a couple ...

haha, being a shire lad myself, i've done this road a good few times. The top of the lecht is my favourite bit, you'd wanna watch out for the stray sheep tho!

Looks good kev, just out the factory look! imho, i think i prefer the smaller badges tho.

How about 'tinting' your centre brake light? Its very easy to do with a can of tinting spray and it could get rid of the only bit of red on the car?

I loved the look when I lowered my 480 on to Lesjofors ... but it is a 'shocking' difference ...

(top being before and bottom being after)

Interesting find Esta! I've certainly never seen one before!

Thats some exhaust ... whats that under the car on the 2nd photo?

I forgot follow up on this one. The Alpine to i-pod connector is defoe much better sound quality than taking a jack out the headphones socket! When the i-pod is connected, the i-pod's button become disabled and you must navigate using the Alpine interface on the head unit! I've not tried this on any...

always a sad sight!

oh yeah ... you HAVE to even it up! its both or nothing!! The rear end is looking awsome tho ... so shiney and new looking!

wow ... it must take some amount of physical strength to slow down etc! Wouldn't wanna hit a drain or pot hole though!
