Side Skirts

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.

FOR SALE!!! :P

Hmm, are we talking about the same thing? I mean the original side skirts, not the bodykit ones.

Are you thinking about these?

Standard 440/460 skirts - I never bothered trimming them, just spent loads of time colour coding them

A pic for those who dont know what "STANDARD" 440 / 460 skirts look like

Also i was wrong in my previous post the skrts will not need trimmed as they dont go near the rear doors

Hope this clears things up.

The early 440 turbos had the above body kit, (the white 440 above) but there impossible to find now, and probably worth as much as the 480 ones![/img]
Toys:-
2001 Ford focus (not as much fun as my volvo was!)
