yes they will fit to the celeration model... because from what I know all 480's have the same body..?? Mine was a 1991 turbo and fitted fine
Ok well on the front and back they have rubber 'feet' which sit on the edge of the roof.
Then on the front they hook under the little metal ridge which is about 5-10mm wide running along the side of the roof, visible when the door is open.
On the back, you need to slide off the horizontal plastic covers which are above the back side windows. You need to open the boot to do this as they slide to the rear of the car. These are usually quite stiff so you need to be firm.
For the front bar, your door may rub a tiny amount if the door has sagged over the years... as mine did a tiny bit. It didn't do any damage at all but worth noting. Also on the rear, it is tricky to refit the plastic cover and so fitting the rear bar takes a bit of practice.
It took me about 30minutes on my first attempt at doing it (I didn;t have any advise!!) but after that it is a 5minute job.
I just realised I wrote an essay!
Hope that helps

Ok for the people who asked, here's some photos to some idea of how the roof bars fit...
Photo of the front bar:
Photo of the rear bar, with plastic panel removed:
Photo of rear bar with plastic panel back on!
They are completely adjustable so both bars fit front and back.

Depends on your car. If you have the black roof rails fitted on your car already, maybe these are not for you.stig wrote:Eh ?? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?....help!

If you don't have any rails on your roof these save you from getting the rails to your car == a good thing!
