It looks great but i'm not keen on front nose.

Well...

I like it. I'm not keen on the nose, although what you've done you've done well-properly. I do like the grill. I've never been a huge fan of mesh, but i think the 480 looks good with it. And yours is black, so it doesn't stand out either.

Smoothed and filled in side reflectors is a nice touch too. I've toyed with the idea a few times, but as i was lucky enough to get some Clear reflectors, i found no need .

In the UK, we have a publication called 'Classic Car Weekly', and last year (8th June) they ran an article on the 480, and although the 480 was just talked about in general, they used your car for the picture. If you want a scan of the article just drop me a PM with your email address

I prefer 480's on standard alloys-but yours does look nice. They look like a slightly darker version of some AMG alloys on a Mercedes near my girlfriends.

Nice 480 though, and very clean

Nice job, it look really good. What size alloys do you have on it?

Oh and before i forget where did you get that rear spoiler? very sweet

Hi Pelle!

Wow, that's been ages Good to see yours is still looking tops

Nice job! Har det så bra!

Daniël

Ironfist: The alloys are 17", fits very well on the car. The rear spoiler is from DBS, but I don't know if I can mention his name here anymore...

Hi Daniël, good to be back. The car is now running again, soon to be put away for the winter though...
It's completely restored after the crash when the car took off without me. Probably just gonna drive it next summer but then again, you never know...better brakes would be nice...
Not completely satisfied with the paintjob either...but that's something for the future too.
