Additional "Nice to have" parts for my rebuild

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...

Additional "Nice to have" parts for my rebuild

Post by MisterH » Tue Mar 08, 2022 7:54 pm

Good Evening all!

Thanks to the immense generosity of the club and its members, it is now possible for my car to be returned to the road. It is my intention to get the car looking perfect, so I was wondering if anyone had the following parts they would be willing to sell:

Front Bumper Spoiler (going for coloured bumpers so is probably needed to complete the look)
Good Rear lenses (new or used)
Mudflaps (One got ripped in the crash so will go for a full set preferably as I only had 2)
Venetian Blind? (hated I know but the idea has always been a cool one for me)

Now I know these are all rare parts, so I will be more than happy to pay what is a fair price for them, the club has already done so much for me.

Many thanks
Ben

I originally wanted a Venetian blind on my car but I was put off due to the fact they apparently are quite fragile and rattle a lot. Not to mention they are ridiculously expensive (that is, if you can find one :lol:)

They do look cool though, so I get why you want one!

I remember speaking to someone who said you can pretty much use an ikea blind to the same effect...
