Front spoiler in the works

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.

about splitters, I don't know about the infocenter. But it shows me now a 0,2-0,3L drop in fuel consumption. Driving @ 90km/h with a no wind.

Hhhmmm, how would it look if you painted in white Volvo on the mesh?
Mesh is made from polished aluminium so the paint doesn't want to stick to it. So the black paint is coming off agin :angry:

If the mesh is aluminium try to find a shop that can anodize the mesh, black would do very nice.

Were the splitters hand made or bought (universal)? Likewise, i wasnt so keen, but seeing them on a 480 (and a damn nice one too i must say) i REALLY like 'em!
