Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi all,

Picked up a set of new old stock caravan to mirrors for the 400 series a couple months back.

It’s an accessory I haven’t come across before, so thought I’d show some pictures of what they look like on a 480! Obviously Volvo designed these to go on a 440/460, hence why they look so silly on a 480.

The mounting for them is quite unusual, but is very secure. The mirror length is adjustable, but I have them extended the furthest they will go for full Dumbo effect.

I have the instruction manual if anybody needs a copy, but they’re quite simply to assemble and fit.

Now I just need a towbar

aye but does the window wind up ? ??

WOW

Are they meant for an FH480 running STGO and Volvo got their 480's mixed up

They're adequate for a static home !

I haven't tried, but If they do, I they'd struggle! Not to mention potentially damage the regulator. The mirrors still go on with the windows fully up though.

I don't think even Volvo's truck division have mirrors this beastly....

Looks utterly hilarious with them on - hence why they came off straight after I took these photos
