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.

Hey groomus, are they the original alloys on your shiney white turbo? I thought they would have been the same as my turbo being almost popping of the production line at the same time!

Here's my Dad's 480 Turbo. I use it ocassionally, although he doesn't like me to! The yellow patch is where the laminated stone chip protector was, but when he peeled it off and took some paint with it :shock: . It's all been re-sprayed now though....

almost as much as a like daniels'

fancy a swap for an S?. (you know it makes sense!)
Your car looks great, but considering the place of the steering...
No deal :lol:
Just love Dark Green Metallic
Me too :) I think it looks especially nice in sunsets and in bright sun light.

Isn't the right time to refresh this topic? ;)

Just been messing about with photobucket and got some phtos from my camping trip last summer and a party the night before we went! Just need to clarify my car(now the Mrs's) is not lowered in anyway and that is what happens when you have 4 people, all our luggage(tents, BBQ's, etc)! This is after we redistributed some stuff - it was even lower which is quite worrying! Drove for an hour and a bit like it as well lol...

A photo of what they did to the car the night before also...
