New spoiler development

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.

New spoiler development

Post by lee » Mon Aug 22, 2005 10:49 pm

Ok people I have been quietly developing a new front spoiler at HOMDV for the 480.

Its not yet finished so bare with me. What I am after at the moment is help. This is the best place to get this help from.
I would like to know what people think.

These are not yet available so don't go asking for one as its still in development.

So anyway here is a sneak preview

Sorry for the quality was taken with my phone. I will take one with the camera when I get a chance to.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I like that, but I think I'll hold out for the bodykit

So far MAT you are the only taker to the kit so it looks like it may not take off as most people think that £600 is too expensive for the kit.

i like it very much
would you be able to add intakes...small and discreet either side of the fogs?
maybe blank em off, so people who want to can add their own brake cooling intakes there ;)

yeh looks good, would be interested but again, would need more pics (see guys im not always negative about Lee's ideas!!! :wink: )

Just to make it clear (mainly refering to the slating i got in the strut brace thread), im a student, im skint,if i can save cash i will, Lee's ideas are always great, and i'd buy every single one of them so far if i had enough cash. Sorry if i appear to belittle your ideas lee!

What do you guys think of this one? Its made so it would replace the turbospoiler, doesn't build much more than the original spoiler, so no problem with the speedbumps.
