I'm wanting to keep my car subtle-i don't want over the top mods or tacky mods etc. I've already sprayed my grill (as in the metal surround and badge) gloss black, which looks quite nice imo. I'm currently in the process of adapting the standard Volvo speaker covers in the front doorcards too, to accomodate my new speakers. The plan was once these had been finished to mask the actual grill off and spray the rest gloss black too, to cover up the joins etc. As the car is white, black plays quite a prominent role-as in window pillars, window trims, rear lights/hatch-inside with the dashboard, leather door cards, Jacquard interior etc. I know these things are apparent on most 480's, but more noticeable on the white ones (again, imo).
My centre console has scrapes and marks etc that don't seem to want to come out-i've soapy washed them, back to black silicone gel, washing powder but dirt usually reveals a scrape of somesort which just looks poo (not my doing, i'm careful when i get in the car!).
I saw a picture of the Bronze 480 interior, which had a colour coded centre console and i thought it looked quite nice. I think if i done mine white it would look a bit ott, but was thinking about doing it gloss black to match the speaker covers/grill/interior colours...
It's mainly just to cover the scrapes up, but i thought it would look ok.
My grill:
My cabin:
The Bronze cabin: (looks good body colour, but only because there is more to match it-this isn't what i want to do, just the centre console)
A good idea or not?
