bonnet scoop

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.

bonnet scoop

Post by martinholmesuk » Wed Mar 01, 2006 9:48 pm

Hi,

Can someone please measure the width on the bonnet where the inlet grill is. I need to know how wide that part of the bonnet is

I really like the scoop on my Legacy as it's not really large or aftermarket looking. I wonder if it would fit.

Mart just been out and measured for ya mate.

As you know there is about 4 or 5 vents in the 480 bonnet,so I measured the length of the widest one nearest the windscreen.It was 28 inches,approx 71cms.

The actual width of the raised centre part of the bonnet including the vent hole was 31 inches.

Groomus Brittle of Tape Measureness! :lol:
