Leather Trim.

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.

Why do you want to re-trim them??<br><br>Did you get the leather steering wheel too; slightly better than standard plastic as it has some nice cow stiched round it. Pol got one the other day, and i picked one up for a fiver for our mate wes, in good nick. Makes your hands more comfy when driving!!<br><br>As for the Leather or psuedo leather material, why don't you just cut it out of you Gimp suit you big poof??!! <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub32.ezboard.com/bvolvo480.show ... rbotwat</A>  <IMG SRC="http://www.photobucket.com/albums/0603/ ... 493897.gif" BORDER=0> at: 9/10/03 10:45 pm<br></i>
