white side markers

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

white side markers

Post by buddo » Mon Jan 13, 2003 7:44 pm

Has somebody mounted white sidemarkers instead of the original orange ones? (I mean the very small ones).<br><br>If yes, do you have pictures of it, and where did you buy them (brand, price,...).<br><br>Thanks for your reactions.<br><br>Regards, Bart.<br><br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.angelfire.com/ne2/volvo480/i ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

I meant the side markers at the front of the car. The signing lights near the front door. Never seen a 480 with these lights in white... but: I discovered this 480: <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.angelfire.com/ne2/volvo480/4 ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>I know, these are not the original signing lights of a 480, but it looks quite nice in my opinion. Who knows the owner of this 480? And, which signing lights are these?<br><br>Greetings, Bart<br><br>Visit <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.angelfire.com/ne2/volvo480/index.htm" target="top">Bart's 480 page!</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

I have mounted white side markers from the new Volvo V70 XC. Looks great.<br><br>Only thing is that there is a small hole left in front of the side marker from the old one. For now I have just covered it but when respray is closing up that hole will be removed and the rear sidelamps is also going to be removed...<br><br>//Pelle <p></p><i></i>

dunno bout the front side repeaters on this guys car but the rear side markers have been tinted black like i did to the ones on mine (ages before i saw this dude's sitep<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ), i also tinted my side repeaters black and think this has made a big difference in making my 480 look a bit smoother, i dont like the way the orange bits are so obviously different to the rest of the car. if you are interested in what i used i will try to dig out the can of stuff. in the meantime check out the pictures of it on my website, i also used the stuff to tint the taillights on my Escort.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.aqwn38.dsl.pipex.com/volvo_4 ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.aqwn38.dsl.pipex.com/volvo_4 ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.aqwn38.dsl.pipex.com/mk2_esc ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

@Daniel:<br>Türschanier ... woher weisst Du;-)))) Nuir eine neue Türe sollte ich dann auch gleich mit kaufen;-) Ich schrei, falls ich mal was brauche. Vorerst halten viel Rost und Hammerite noch alles zusammen. Übringedns für die Schaniere empfehle ich TEFLON Spray. Altes Fett weg und die weiße Plörre drauf. Sehr sehr schön und leichtgängig und leise ... ahhhh ....<br><br><br>@rest ... sorry sometimes ...

The price

Post by Ortovox » Tue Aug 12, 2003 11:00 pm

The price is 200 swedish kroner for a pair.<br>That is about 21-22 Euros.<br>I doubt English should be a problem.<br> <p></p><i></i>

Hello boys<br>I have talked to Björn that makes the white sidemarks and he can deliver them to me and then I can sell them to you.<br>But I really think you should buy them directly from him to make things easier. Because every time anyone order from me I have to order from him and then repack and sell it to you guys and I think thats gonna be a whole lot of extra work.<br><br>It might just be better if I take up orders from you guys with you names and adress and then I forward them to him.<br><br>/regards Jonas <p></p><i></i>
