Some photoshopping, EDIT

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.

Some photoshopping, EDIT

Post by eMmet » Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:25 pm

Just thought i'd run by with this picture. Pimped my ride, using only what is already on the car. Made some things a little bigger (rims and bumpers) and lowered it quite a bit. Also put some metallic feeling into the paint. So what do you think? One things for sure, its officially been pimped.

The original

If you'd like I could make a new thread with more pics (not photoshopped) on my car.

Great stuff.

Funny how those fluffy Pollux rims can look so MEAN when transformed to this size. Interesting chinese eye conversion... and binning the side 'bumpers' cleans up the profile as well. The chique mega snow plough is only good for motorway cruising, I guess!
;)

More suggestions, anyone?

can someone have a go at smoothing out the pop-ups and sticking alfa GTV lights on? I was just wondering whether it'd work...

yeah, I've seen that before. Do you think you could put GTV headlights on that?

i can try it, but i`m sure it will look ugly, cause round objects don't match to the cornered 480
