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.

So i thought i'd remove my grille, take the silver strip round the edge off, along with the horizontal badge, and spray them glossy black. Only took a couple of hours whilst fixing numerous other 'broken bits' :lol:.

Hard to see from the picture-gives the car a more aggressive look from the front. You can only really see the full benefit from a distance, but my digi cam is poo, so close up's it had to be!

I think it looks ok anyway...

I removed the grill and it's being replaced by mesh grill which I have painted gloss black.
