Fitting Sports Seats in a 480

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.

Fitting Sports Seats in a 480

Post by JSabrewulf » Sat Sep 09, 2006 12:31 am

not sure what it goes under, but has anyone fitted sports seats in their 480? i quite fancied a pair to replace the front seats (if thats even possible) if it is, id buy a set with both recline and tilt facilities so the back seats are still useable. So if anyone knows anything about doing this sorta thing, share your thoughts,thanks ladies and gents

Dont know you would probably need to get universal sub-frames though and do a bit of bodging!

I've got some front Recaros from a 2.8i capri (which where fitted in to my mk4 escort) at my mate house. Might give him a call and try and get them in my 480! Recaros are the best seats ever ;)
