I have one extra for the mesh in the front of the car. But I think, I won't add it there,its a bit to big.
Gona make a stainless steel sheeld and add it to that.

The prancing moose rocks!

Been a fan of the decals ever since I saw them a while back, and found out what they meant and how it all came about! It's a funky 'gimmick' I think.

I've designed my own moose now, but instead of putting it on the 480, I think I'll be keeping it for my soon-to-be-aquired 245... :D

Cool, Now i know where to but my extra sticker. Thanks for the idea (under hood). Nice clean engine bay, mine is still dirty, but gona give it a wash after I change out the turbo.

Hmm, but has anyone used these stichers? In our club, some 850 wagons have these :) As there was a british study, that volvo wagons are cars where people most have sex in + volvo is known for its safety.

Prancing Moose decals look great - i ordered a set from flea-bay a while back for my Saab 9-3, and was so impressed by the attention they got that i ordered a couple red ones for my Celebration (only down side is the decals look more orange than red when up against the 480 paintwork, so i may have to put them on rear screen or summat!?).

Hey while we are in teh subject of logos with "hidden meanings" is there any connection to the Volvo logo:

Image

which is the same shape as the "Man" logo:

Image

Or is there no connection? Lol! ;)

Just wondering, cos i guess when Volvo started out it was primarily a Man thing to drive :lol:

There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Volvo 480 ;)
