No its not mate. That one is not good enough to mould. I have access to a mint one to get moulded.

Spoke with the company making the spoilers and the first one should be rolled out in 3 weeks. This will be carbonfibre and will have cost me the price of a 480 so that everyone else gets the benifit.

I hope that it will all be worth it

What will be final price to us? half 480 price?

lee · Post by **lee** » Thu Apr 21, 2005 8:34 pm

The prices mentioned at the beginning of this thread are looking good give or take Â£5 each way

Prices are rather fine. What about posting costs to Poland?

Ok we must be getting close to seeing the first spoiler, Any pics yet?

My car doesn't have a spoiler on it. Will this give me grief with fitting one. Not having one i have no idea how they are attatched to the car, can someone explain and possibly post a pic or two.

There are a few people from the french forum who have asked me if I'll bring one or two back from luxemburg, but I guess they won't be ready ??

@turnipman - Lots of little holes in the bottom of your bumper, then a metal clip at the back to hold a screw - will get a photo up for tomorrow, as mine has been broken off - you can see the mounting points!

Sorry for not being around for the last couple of weeks i have been busy.

Progress: The mould is going on as we speak and we are hoping that the first spoiler will be ready for luxemburg. However i'm not sure how many other i will be able to get by Luxemburg

I will keep you all updated with the progress.

i have spoken to the company that is making these and the mould is now ready and are doing the carbon fibre one for my car hopefully before luxemburg and possibly one in fibreglass too.

just keeping everyone up to date with the process

great news I'm still keen for one

Hi Lee, I'm also very much interested in your 480 spoiler. I think it will look good under mine red 1989 480ES bumper!!

Like others on this forum I'm interested in the total costs of this spoiler. Could you give a indication of the costs (incl posting costs to the Netherlands) of a fibre glass spoiler?
And is there much difference in quality between the fibre glass (25,-) and carbon fibre (65,-) spoiler?
Greetings from Holland.

Ok - some photos of the spoiler mounting points on my photobucket...

Hope it helps! These screws look like they mount through holes in the bumper and bed into metal washer plates behind it (like a lot of the screws in the dashboard)

OK finally had my money back from dbs, now ready and willing to buy a spoiler when they are ready.

Welcome in da club!

I really belive it will look fantastic under black bumper. I like that view. Red 480 black bumpers and red spoiler. Just perfect

Cool cheers for the photos sanphire looks interesting and a little bit scary!!!! Will take some photos of mine so we can have a looook and compare.

I live in Oxford and London so if you do make a trip down the M40 stopping off in oxford would be so cool for me and of course some of the queens finest would go your way.

So i will put my name down on the list for of the Â£25 ones, please.

Thank you Milosz! In the following link you can see a pic from a red 480 with black bumpers and a red spoiler!!

By the way I downloaded this pic from http://groups.msn.com/volvo480. This is also a very good forum about the 480. But unfortunately for you, the language is Dutch!
Cheers Rik

ps. Still anxious to know about posting costs to the Netherlands!

I'm sorry the link to the Belgium & Dutch 480 forum mentioned above was incorrect.

It should have been:

I have seen that web site. Nice one. It's good for you to have contact with other 480 freaks from your country. That's what I'm trying to do with my website.
