I want red seatbelts
« on: February 11, 2009, 01:10:22 pm »
Seeing these on an E30 M3 Evo, and regularly on Porsche 911's I think it would be a fantastic addition to the GTI! It would also complement the red in the seat fabric design, and the red brake calipers/grille strip!

Where can I get some from!!?

I also have thought about these and that they would look good. i think Lupo GTI's came with red belts and Anniversary MK3 GTI Golfs?

@ RR - haha! Whilst I do not find that particular girl very attractive, I can picture many of the ladies in the VAG Babes section in a similar situation!  :smiley: :smiley:

But seriously, I think they would look great in the car! To anyone in the know-how...I assume that most seatbelts have a similar design? Could I not just buy some from Porsche? Or as Mark says, it might be easier to get a part number from a Lupo GTI.

Chris, I think the biggest problem you come up against isn't getting the belts, its the fitting.

i would assume the mechanism is pretty complicated and hard to disassemble, for obvious safety reasons. Obviously, id like to be proven wrong.

whenever i see springs in a mechanism, I tread carefully, if i havent already given up with it!

No, not red belts, but they had a red trim down both side. like the mats. Black mat but red trim. it looks great

Just you wait Jay, come the summer I'm going to be a dismantling machine!!!!!!!!!! ..............belts, clocks, doors, you name it! I'll probably end up with no car left though! It's just a little too cold at the moment to try anything! lol!

Ahh, just looked at some photos, and I see what you mean regarding the MK4 belts! They look nice!
