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.

I was thinking of changing the grill to a sports grill. So I wondered if any one else had done it, an had som pics to show me

don't know how it would look..but plenty to do.... cause all the grill is as one.... with fog light places etc. - you could try yto cut it out but then it would lose strenght for bottom side.... some thinking needed

I have been thinking bout it too. Currently I have placed my own personal logo on the grill, while the volvo logo was taken off by some sort of stupid person not willing to buy his own logo at the volvo dealer.
Anyway, since then I left it this way.
Maybe, somewhere in the future I will be creating a subtile aftermarket bumper for the 480. Leaving the original foglights and grill in place, but creating a bumper around it.
Hmmmm, I better keep dreaming bout that. First project is an exhaust with 4 endpipes (2 at both sides) and a customized rearbumper with the orignal foglights moved under the numberplate. Will post some pictures when ready.
