Wiljens rear reflectors...

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.

Wiljens rear reflectors...

Post by Dan the 480 Man » Fri Sep 29, 2006 5:24 pm

Just gotta say a big thankyou to Wiljen for sorting these out. The quality of these is excellent, much better than the other clear reflectors. These actually feel like genuine parts... If anybody has any reservations, don't! Just a couple of pics holding them against my old clear reflectors... You can see the difference instantly...

Well pleased with those, top work Wiljen! :D

Man, i've edited and re-edited this reply now. I'm just not gonna bother. Everyones entitled to their opinion. Just ask yourself this-my Dad's had a pair on his 480 from when they were first available (about 3 years ago now)-if i thought they were that bad, would i have bought a pair of my own? The picture was for comparison-you interpret it however you want. I'm just being honest-they are better than the original ones-my Dad's after a set to replace his and his are fine. If ideas were never improved upon, nothing would ever make any progress... And i wasn't slating the original idea either-i think they were a great idea. Otherwise i wouldn't have bought them!!

See where i'm going with this?

Hi Dan!
I've just red the message....Could you please tell me where can I buy this "clear reflectors"???It's a lot of time that I'm trying to find them!
Do you also know where can I find the front sidemarkers(the little ones with the notice "Volvo")?
Thank you! :D

You need this thread here. Just PM him and he'll get back to you (but he is a very busy man so you might be in for a wait). I think there's quite a que for them though, so you may be in for a wait.

with regards to side blinkers, do you mean these? He does make them too, but again, you may be in for a wait...

:D
