Very nearly there

just bonnet to do - but ran out of vinyl so have some coming tomorrow.

Then everything can be fitted back up and a good clean

cant wait to get her back on the road.

Ps, the bottom of the seals and the door shuts will be sprayed grey, to match - have already done one side and it looks great, infact cant even tell the difference between spray and wrap.

kind of liked the red, but the boost gauge in the middle of dash is very cool. What are you doing to the engine?

I work at Mercedes Benz in Milton keynes, have spotted this 480 a few times. nice.

thought i'd posted these up..... but the next stage complete

decided on a colour change at the last moment and it works well, although a mate has kindly pointed out it looks like the same colours as the new citreon DS3.....! jolly pain in the backside

Thought it was time to crack out the vinyl cutter and get something done on the car as its been a while (skiing, little one off, decorating and the normal stuff in between)

anyway started with this:

Applied:

PS anyone else interested in vinyl graphics just ask

even if you have an idea i could probably chuck something together.

Nice! I'd like to do a little lettering on the rear bumper of mine but Mrs. MRP would cut my man-spuds off lol.

My misses hasn't taken a shine to it either.... but then she is actually 'the plod' ha when she asked what 'hoonigan' stood for ‎[*noun,see hoon or hooning: a person who participates in any type of reckless driving including but not limited to drifting, drag racing, and burnouts] it wet down like a wet fart in a lift.

Nice choice of colour, looks smart

**jayeastanglia** · Sunday 11th March 2012, 20:35

looks nice just need a few more pics from diffrent angles to really show off that roof and front spoiler.
Havent seen a 480 for ages ,There used to be a pre production one at ipswich colledge when i went there back in the 1990s but as far as i know it got crushed not long after i left as the colledge couldnt sell it as it was donated by volvo.

more are requested

the grey is lovely, in any light/weather it just looks so good, its hard to explain but as you don't get any reflections or shadows in direct sunlight it doesn't look real ha
