Volvo factory pinstripe kit
Hi folks,
Did a buy on eBay a few days ago, a set of factory pinstriped for a 480, don't know if I want to use the, but they were £10!!
However I have no idea where they're meant to run! Has anyone got any ideas? They're black and grey and have a shaped front section about 3" long, a long reel of the two lines and then another section presumable for the rear where the lines kind of cross over also around 3" long!
Any ideas??
Cheers!

Re: Volvo factory pinstripe kit
My car had pinstripes on from the factory - they were replaced by the previous owner with non-Volvo ones due to age-related tattyness, but he followed the pattern so they should be pretty authentic. I initially planned to remove them as I didn't like the look, but ended up keeping them as I haven't seen many (or even any) other cars with them.
I won't have the car till the end of the week due to being at work, but I can take a few photos then if you'd like?

Here we go (quality not ideal - more sun required. Not the right time of year!):
Side view, dogs for scale
Over the front clusters...
Looking back...
Then looking forward...
Over the rear 'indicators'...

Side view again
The other side, taken with a better camera on a (slightly) better day!
My plan had been to put the car away under its cover for winter after taking these, but I fear it's a bit damp for that. Hopefully soon, though. Also makes me realize that my ancient phone isn't up to much in the camera department!
