If parts are made again volvo 480?

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...

Reproducing light lenses is extremely expensive, so you won't find cheaper prices. The seller you have linked to manufactures most plastic light lenses for the 480. I can't comment on the quality of the taillight lenses, but the side markers and repeaters are very good. The repro DRL lenses have the same warpage and discolouration issues as the originals I have found.

If its seals, clips and other miscellaneous parts you are after, have look at this thread: https://volvo-480-europe.org/forum/view ... =8&t=36739

Reproducing ANY is not a cheap hobby;

The rear seals I make? I sell them AT COST. Now in order to make them a reasonable price, I have to buy in bulk. I’m sat on somewhere in the region of £5k of reproduction parts that I may, or may not, ever recoup.

You want cheap parts? Feel free to start making them.
