seatbelt lights

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

the later ones didn't have them for some reason. :?
sure you could sort something out with the looms from a scrapyard, you may also find threr is no pressure sensor on th passenger side, for the seatbelt warning.

our car was like 50 % more expensive than other hot cars in the time. Thats how.

They made a car for the US market, but then the currency blew sky high (thats one explination) US cars must have all the gadgets, but these cars are to expensive in the higher competative car market of europe of that time.

You can put it this way: compared to the old versions of 85-88 the later 480's are the "naked version"

but comfort you by telling yourselves the fact that whats not on it, can never break. ;)
luck,
