Blue kitted 480

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 does look fantastic-don't think it would be for sale very long if it was in the UK!
How much are they selling it for?

£3818- it would have to be unbelievable at that price!
Maybe not such a good seller after all! :o

Not such a great price, but a very very nice looking 480. Not a fan of kits on 480's, but this one is nice-subtle. Good colour choice, doesn't make the car stand out too much...

I like this one :) And i would not be suprised by the price. Here in Finland you pay over 3000€ for standard 480 1.7 ES with no leathers or anything nice :( I think thats why i have 460 they just are much cheaper and common :?

In Finland we have this thing called: "Reilu meininki"

Image
This "thing" is an -87 ES with 130 000 miles on the clock. It's advertised as "The finest 480 in Finland" Well I've got my doubts on that :P

And guess the pricetag? 5990 euros :D I think that paintjob is plain horrible. Also they've ruined the interior...

Well depends what you like. I think this one is in quite good taste but the tiger... hmmm I don't know wha to say about it :?
Also don't like steering wheel. Anyway my overall rate is good, comparing to ohters styled 480s.
The blue one is just lovely :D

i like it....very much.
not the graphics, but the overall car is very pleasing.....i like the fact theyve modified an original 480 bumper and made it interesting.
i also like the steering wheel

in fact the only problem is, the steering wheels on the wrong side!!
