If they still have some, I would definately want one.

Also the price would be good

No, in this case he cant help.
He is an engineer (research) and has nothing to do with sales.
I think the only chance for an air ventilation snow cover
is eBay or something like that.

Sometimes there are accident480 with this air ventilation snow cover
on it, so You have to look for it.

@MatBat, the only chance to get the snowcover is this Forum,or the scrapyard.

Maybe a Volvo dealer still has the snow cover ! Ask arround.

Volvo Cars does not have them anymore in their parts centers in Maastricht or Gothenburg.

Regards.

If you replace this wheelnut-cover by one from a taurus it looks like it a bit...

Are you sure the "canis"-wheels (see wheels-section on the club page) were produced for the 480? I have never seen a 480 catalogue showing them, and they aren`t even shown on the 4xx-series accessories catalogue.[/img]

Yep, 100% positive

Daniel480 has scanned images and mailed them to me which proved they existed, they had tyresizes mentioned for the 480!

Hey, I bought them!

I found them in an old catalogue for the whole Volvo family in the section
especialy for the 4xx series.
You cant see them often on a 480 because at the time they were sold
regulary they were extrem expensive.
15" with 195/50 and looking/driving great!
Mostly you see them on the 460.

Here is a picture:

I'm quite satisfied with mine 17". The 480 deserves more than 14 or 15 inches..

Hi Martin,

impressive!!! Always thought 17"alloys would touch the wheel-arch when you go over a speed-bump, even when done gently

You probably have superstiff suspension on your 480?

Bingo! I have no problem even with passangers either. ItÂ´s lowered aswell. I think the designer of the 480 choked

when volvo put 14" on it.. DoesnÂ´t really look like 14" on his sketches..

These looks nice on the 480 nas well I think

MatBat · Post by **MatBat** » Mon Mar 15, 2004 9:12 am

Hmm, I wonder if they would have the correct offset though.
