Windows scrapers - have a read of Jay kay ems excellent thread; originals are unobtainium, but Jay has found alternatives.
Rear lenses are available from The French Club, I make rear seals
Crash bar - more unobtainium; there is a fibreglass alternative, or try to repair what you have
Chin spoiler is available from
WR composites

Given how rare the steel reinforcing bumper bars are I got mine blasted, which reveal the little rust holes which I subsequently MIG welded up. I then got them hot dip galvanised. They will last forever. BUT they are now quite a bit heavier.... I'd urge any 480 owner to get the bumpers off their car and get them repaired/protected before it's too late. Which it probably is for most European 480s...

When I posted this I was about to buy the car and had identified these as immediate requirements. That one fell through (long story).
I now have a 480 turbo, which from first looks only needs the bumper irons doing.
