GT leather seat....

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.

Indeed, at the moment we don't have a decent mechanism to combine your membership for the club and access to the forum.

One day I would like to integrate the two parts together, but that's a tough nut to crack...

When you applied for the club (not the forum) you will have received a confirmation e-mail with a password. Using your member-id from the memberlist, combined with your password from the e-mail ( :!: password can be changed after you have logged in) you should be able to view the interiours (and more).

Call me odd if you like, but I really like the rather crazy coloured-square job on the leathers on my GT. Sadly they've faded away in the sun - does anyone know anything about really restoring leather back to it's once rather odd colour?
Have tried the occasional leather-conditioning things from halfords, but they still look decidedly less exciting than the pictures on the club site!

I assume you're talking about the Jaquard leather? Sadly most of those seem to have degraded to grayish green with barely visible coloured blocks - still beautiful imho. But rumours are it was originally cream with coloured blocks? THAT would be something to see...

No, Jaquard is the half leather half cloth seating and interior:

The GT is full leather in whitey cream with all sorts of coloured squares on it:
