Post your 480s' pics!

Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

These rims will be replaced with taurusses this month



I´ll make some new pictures when it´s clean :hopping:

Philip
why do you want to replace these rims? i think they look pretty cool and they match to the hausser kit.

Which bodykit is that?
yes it is indeed a hausser kit. By the way this is a 480 Turbo from 1988, it was a real bargain and although I already owned a 480, I couldn´t resist :wink:

Also have an 1989 Turbo wich is a bit more luxurious (airco, abs, leather etc etc) and has a lot of power :eek: but looks like crap on the outside. loads of bodywork needs to be done.

edit: I don´t really like these rims myself, I think they don´t look sporty enough to match the hausser kit.

Woohoo, finally got around to setting up a photobucket account and taking some pictures of my little bit of homeland. Just a bog-standard ES 1.7, nothing special, but I like it.

From the back in front of our house:

Ah and in response to guitarfanatics question: I think it looks nice with black bumpers, but I also prefer the orange indicator covers, so don't listen to me :)
