Clear Side repeaters and reflectors

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.

Clear Side repeaters and reflectors

Post by Big Brother » Sun May 01, 2005 8:14 pm

In Sophie’s video I saw them on Bakke’s turbo (RIP). I was wandering where can you get them from, I know they are rare but surly you can still get hold of them

i would have thought so....there was something about his emails etc in that thread i think.....maybe gaz or daniel could advise you better, but i believe he does answer his mail.....must be worth mailing him....at the least he wont reply, at most he will!

i think the prices were something like 22euros for front, 50something for backs....but not sure

I fitted my clear side repeaters last weekend :D

Very fast postage, and a doddle to fit. Got some orange bulbs as well, so in total cost me about £20 and about 10-20 minutes fitting. I spend a lot of time doing things though as I tend to clean behind trim and wash every little bit.

I didn't get rear clear reflectors as I'm having some nasty dents taken out at the back, and getting the reflectors removed while I'm at it. Getting the arches tidied up, slight onset of rust on one side. And then, brand new rear clusters ;)

Photos will be coming soon, and avatar

Bjorn, that is his email address. Last I heard (a couple weeks ago) he only has the side repeaters in stock at the moment. He's a busy man so it did take a couple of months for him to get back to me :shock: However once I paid, they arrived in about 4 days.
