480 with lambo doors

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.

It would be great when parking in a carpark, always hard to find a spot with enough space to get out of the car without some rubber-man-act ;)

Wow it's certainly interesting! Will be interesting to see how it turns out... it looks a bit of a bird's nest inside at the moment though... ;)

Ditto Daniel's rubber-man comment, I've had a few days like that too....!

Cheers,
Martin

You're not wrong...thats one thing i don't miss when driving my rover. Actually the main thing is that if i have my music up, i can almost forget i'm driving the rover...i put my foot down and it accelates slowly...i wait for the engine to come on boost...and wait...and wait...and er? redline?! eek.

Gull wings would be pretty swish!
But the lambo doors are what the kids are all about today :)
Is that 480 lambo-door a kit available from the Lambo-Doors company, or d'ya reckon its custom?
ny1 know? It's gotta stop the door closing on your leg in the wind or when the car is facing up hill :)

You'll notice the car doesn't have any wings on it. And that may be for a good reason - my own lambo kit has been put on my car for measurement and it is VERY tight for space in there - we are doubtful as to whether the kit can be used with the original wing, or whether I will need to get some new wings made up with more space...

Although we'll be finding out pretty soon :D

Oh yeah, so it does :)

Well that gives me a bit more hope. Of course, we might not have the same kit, but seeing it with a wing on gives me confidence :)
