Warning - scary content inside

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

colour scheme is inspired.....by a colour blind psychopath
bodykit - would look totally different in a different colour
dont like the meshing in the diffuser, but i do like the depth of the bumper
rear lights - crap
alloys - big winner...love deep dish alloys, these are probably right for the age of the car, being shiny chrome alloys (big thing in the 80s...wolfrace and all that)

if some one is gonna spend that amount of time in PS, then at least research the car, and do it accordingly, however extreme, if it suit the age/period of the car, then do it!

hmmmm......bodykit looks better, but its still the wrong colour!
dont like that rear end open like that...would probably have to mesh it, but keep it black.
i also like the smooth euro look...no side lights/reflectors/ariel
could do with the door handles smoothing too to finish it off
