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.

Here are the front spoiler measurements! Could be useful to others as well, so I have posted them openly instead of PM-ing!
Ah well, you cant even see the tape measure lol! But on the closer pics, I started the tape at 4inches/100mm so deduct that from the final length first lol!!
Please excuse the sawdust on the floor, in the middle of cleaning out Gonzo!
Length: 61inches/1550mm
Width: 18 inches/450mm
Remember to deduct the 100mm/4ins-im too lazy and tired!

its from my GT, the nuts that did my tracking (the one darn job I cant do myself!) cracked the splitter in half, so i fibreglassed it and primed it, but not had the chance to paint it yet

I could, but the cost of it would mean that anyone wanting one off me would have to pay a rediculous price...PM Lee, I believe he has some left!

I can tell from the first photo that it's a bit over two feet wide.
