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.

Saw this on a random 480 search on google
Dont know what the general opinion will be, i personally dont mind some bodykits...but the 80's Volvos were always very square...so i find this front bumper VERY odd!!! And whats with the running lights!!!

What a peculiar looking 480. That bumper
does not suit it at all. The black tints do make it look very druggy...

Now you see Esta this is what happens when you go messing around on google. You put us all off our dinners and make us want to go around and pistol whip the creator of this hideous beast.
