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.

You mean Vesa wheels? The car is imported from Germany and had Taurus wheels on it. Did all GT´s originally come with Vesa wheels also in Germany?

It's because it was resprayed. Colour now isn't as dark as 217 but it's not as bright as 231. Anyway it looks much nicer with coloured bumpers.
no car, why drive a car if you can fly SAAB

I see, looks good indeed :)
I had the bumpers of my former red 480 -87 resprayed with 217, but the colour didn´t match perfectly becouse the rest of the car was already a bit faded..oh, and no black stripes neither.
