Front bumper/Spoiler

Kemo · Post by **Kemo** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 5:44 pm

Anyone know what volvo/or other car models have almost same front as 480, so you "easy" could make it fit?

Read that 440/460 have pretty much same.. But what about s40 and those models could a spoiler from them fit on a 480?

Yupp i know about them, but they are to small and dosent help the ugly spiky front of 480s IMO. I want a "fatter" spoiler. Those one dont change the apperance much.

And it dident really answere my questions since i dident ask for 480spoiler i asked if anyone know if there is any car models that might fit with afew adjusments. Since i know it is pretty much impossibel to get a custom made 480 front spoiler (except the one from lee)

I seriously doubt you'd get any bumper of any other car to fit. Well you could..... but it'd look shit!

There was talk of reproduction bodykits being made here but don't think its going ahead so far.

Or get a honda civic!

i doupt it would be easy, but that one from the renault alpine would look great (without the lights):

even better that one (looks a bit like the volvo kit):

If a 440 bumper would fit (Idoubt the curve is the same...) you might aswell check this one out:

There was one like the bottom picture on ebay a while back, only sold for a couple of K as i remember. Nice rot free body, and a nice renault lump.

hello again,

i saw an toyota mr2 with a bomex front spoiler, i think it wouldnt be that difficult to modify it to a 480 front.

after some photoshopping... the bomex front will look like this:

what do you think?

the front costs about 200â‚¬ on ebay - so that shouldnt be a problem
as for the expertise, i saw many pics of your car and the things you have modded, i think you have more than enough experience with it.

so come on share your experience with us

i contacted the seller on ebay for these spoiler. the spoiler is just a bit too high and a bit too short, but i think i will try it.
anyway i will have to cut the spoiler in many pieces at first, to remove all the big curves and to make it look more "cornered" like our volvos.

The slant on the light clusters really work
