What da ....?

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.

Yeh, I thought that was a bit harsh, a lot of money and work has gone into that.

I agree, the colours aren't my taste, the front spoiler is a bit oversized, the steering wheel does stick out like a sore thumb, the rear spoiler would probably work better if it was single tier, but the interior has had a lot of effort put in and it all looks nice and new on the outside. Clear cluster would definately look better with the colours chosen.

I'm kinda jealous that I haven't had that kind of money to spend on my car. The outcome isn't for me, but 10/10 for effort. :D

Craftsmanship is there, not denying that-and they've obviously spent alot of time and money on it. The interior looks hideous, the bumpers just don't suit it...the Alfa lights, maybe... If you want to mod a car to look like something else, just buy something else to start off with. Bakke's, yes-thats cool. I've seen plenty of 480's that look loads better with probably a fraction spent on them...

But saying that, it looks as if it's all been done good and proper. Wheels (not my taste) are nice, the bumpers do look like they've been fitted really well, i do quite like the the rear light panel all smoothed off like it is. Can't knock the dedication or the time/cost involved, but it's just not my cup of tea. I just think it's a shame to see the shape of the 480 messed up.

I agree with Brasco. Outcome def. not my cup of tea, but 10/10 for effort.

Just my opinion of course...
