Floor mats for a 480
Assuming I can't find find a set of original 480 floor mats, any recommendations for an alternative set? There's plenty of choices on Amazon and eBay.
Thanks

Re: Floor mats for a 480
As someone with 480 mats I can say you're better off finding an alternative as they just get in the way and (in my car at least) don't conform to the central tunnel.
I think any dark/medium grey mat would be ok if you asked me, but then it is all preference really

Re: Floor mats for a 480
I got mine made by Autostyle. Now when I say made, I do very much mean MADE.
They're a manufacturer, so will do just about anything you want. Lambswool? Sheepskin? Not a problem.
The pattern they have is perfect for the 480.

Re: Floor mats for a 480
If you are prepared to do a little trimming to the drivers mat so it fits round the footrest, within the next couple of weeks I should have a spare set of 440 genuine rigid floor mats - the other 3 mats are identical for the 480, just drivers mat is different as 440 doesn't have the footrest.

Thanks everyone - I went for these in the end. Not cheap, but you typically get what you pay for and they do look like they are really good.
I have also been told that the original Volvo 480 mats are likely to be pretty knackered after 30 or so years!

Re: Floor mats for a 480
and they do tend to turn green over the years - I've experimented with a selection of different dyes but nothing has worked so they must be 100% synthetic. Ok in a green car, but otherwise, not good !I have also been told that the original Volvo 480 mats are likely to be pretty knackered after 30 or so years!

Re: Floor mats for a 480
They were done in the super luxury finish (bottom one) - Next time I'll probably just go standard (top one)
