Anyone have more info on the SC Design Mod?

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.

Anyone have more info on the SC Design Mod?

Post by esta » Wed Apr 09, 2008 1:56 pm

I often look back at the styling section on the website, drooling over the Theiss bodykit, and then i noticed this fine example from SC Design...i am sure this is relatively new in this section, i am sure i would have recognised it!

This is now my favourite over the Theiss-it seems to have kept the curvey corners of the original bumper which i like. Dont much like the way the side skirts blip in in the middle (i hate untidy body kit parts) But the deep dish style wheels seem to suit it and i like the colour.

anyway, this post is that i am curious as to whether anyone has anymore pics on it or info...?

It was an one-off on a 2litre Belgian licensed car.
Wheels were revolutions in 16 or 17"

Bakke knows this car, but isn't really into 480's anymore.

In the depths of my CD backups, i do have a few more pictures of this kit-but if i remember rightly they were quite small. Also, if my memory serves my correctly, i remember being disappointed with the rear of the car as it was just the standard back bumper. Exhaust was different though...

Give me a few days and i'll see if i can find them!

Well, i've had a through rummage through my CD's and despite having loads of Volvo images, i can't find anymore of those-but i know they are located somewhere.

I suspect it'll be a case of finding when i'm not looking. Sorry!

Yes, the bodykit adds up few thousand quids instantly...

No mean to offend you, but despite it being a unique car and apparently a lot has been spent on it - you'd never get that money back. It is just the way it goes. I've put several thousands on my car, (paintjob, body repairs, all new suspension and brake parts, bodykit etc. etc.) but I wouldn't dream of getting even that all back if I'd sell the car.
