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.

The panel for the heated switch and longrange lights, all light up on mine standard Dan, think you must have a bulb out 
I think green is very 80's digital retro, that's my choice Guv'nor! Love the illuminated turbo badge, would be cool if you could connect it to operate from the boost guage......

I'm thinking...EL foil in the trim that runs up the rear pillars-but not just stuck on. A bit of tinted frosted plastic dropped into the trim so not really noticeable at a glance, but with the foil behind it. So doesn't stand out until the boot is opened, then it gives off a nice cool glow... Hmmmmm. Don't dare me, it's too hard to resist!
NB-I think TommiS made that floor himself-pretty cool i think.
