Photoshopped my 480

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.

Yellow is cool, but this shop looks somehow matte to me.

I was thinking about giallo midas from lamborghini. Awesome color. But i would go for a more decent color on the 480, so bright colors suit ricers more. But yellow does look good though.


But u need white indicators then.

I went for the Ford Mexico Yellow (about 1974-ish)
Was considering the Renault yellow but was too pasty and pale.
Deffo on the clear lenses, I have the front lenses clear but looking around for clear side repeaters and rear side reflectors (which I have wired up as indicators)

Maybe next thing is do the wheels a matt dark gun metal with yellow lettering ?

However, she does need a little work right now:
New rear seatbelts
New front spoiler
Investigation into why sunroof only opens on one side (maybe linkage)
Investigation as to why she intermittantly revs at 2000rpm
Various small rust spots dotted around
Replace engine undertray
Rear wiper stops mid wipe

Oh, and various silicone bits and bobs
