front spolier and alloy wheels wanted

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

front spolier and alloy wheels wanted

Post by Lee77 » Wed Mar 13, 2013 1:27 pm

Hi guys

Just bought the 1994 GT that was being sold on here, its a lovely car.

I'm after a front spoiler, ideally in burgandy, but I guess black would also work

I'm also after some 15", 15 spoke (Oz racing superturismo GT) type alloys

If anyone has these please get in touch

If I find the alloys I want, I might then have some Vesas for sale

Thanks

I spotted these OZ Superturismos below on eBay the other week, they were listed before for £300 plus postage but then they put the price up?

They'll go straight on with spigot rings.

Could make a cheeky offer, might come off good if they're what you want ;)

They look nice, I've messaged the seller.. So there's nothing extra I need to replace a 15" wheel with a 16" one?.. Apart from the spigot rings.

Any idea what I can ask for a set of VESA 15" in good condition with almost new continental contact 2 195/55 R15 85H

Well obviously you'd need different tyres but they're included :D

You could expect £150-200 for some really good Vesas, maybe a touch more to the right person.

Also, the tyres on those wheels are 195/45 16 so they have a near identical circumference to what is a typical size these cars have on their 15s.

Nice one ;) Is that with delivery?

Can't wait to see a pic with them fitted!

There is a chap who reproduces front spoilers.

Most used spoilers are broken, like mine! :cry:

Emailed Wayne.. So hopefully grab one off him.

You reakon I'll be able to fit 4 wheels/tyres in the back of the 480 with the seats down?

You'll have to measure the centre bore of the wheels you're getting/ask the seller, and find the right rings for these cars which have a cb of 52.1mm.

Soooo... you'll need rings measuring (measured size of new wheels)--to--52.1mm.

Yeah, they'll fit easy...

I've done it on more than one occasion! ;)

Nice wheel choice BTW :)
