Picture request...

Post by Dan the 480 Man » Wed Apr 30, 2008 5:48 pm

Not just general pics though.

I've been trying to find some pics of 480's on 'Vega' alloys. I remember seeing one in the last year. It was a black 480 with orange indicators on the Vega's. But despite numerous attempts to track the image down, i can't seem to find it!

Anybody have any pics of 480's on Vega's?

Vega's as seen in the 460 brochure:

As seen from the accessories section on the club website:

Thanks in advance!

That picture looks ace indeed :)

Just in case, this picture is from the bodykit photos:

http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/images/ ... ykit_2.jpg

I have that picture also bigger in a Volvo brouchure and what´s intresting, the dish looks in the picture deeper than the "real" is. Not that much, but still. Also in the brouchure a Volvo 440 with bodykit has Vegas, and with a deeper dish. However Volvo 460(and some of the pictures with 440) in brouchures with Vegas has the "real" dish. They must have used those with deeper dish for some pictures??
Anyway I really like them and when my 480 GT restoration is ready it will have Vegas :hopping:

Regards,
Anton
