If you fancy taking the mechanisms apart, fill your boots for colours...

 :surprised: :surprised: :surprised: :surprised: :surprised: :surprised:

Even if I got the official Porsche retrofit ones, and make them fit ok? Not that I am very technically minded, but I dont see how just replacing the black fabric in mine, with red fabric could cause a problem. But then again, I haven't fully investigated it yet, and I assume that you (Rob) know much more about it than I do!  :smiley:

I would have thought belts would be on the big list of don't touch TBH - I'd ask first.

I do hope you are joking!
any form of product may attack the belt fibers and lead to them not doing there job in an accident.

If you must , you could paint the buckles etc as a highlighting idea?

Mmmmmm yeah I was kind of half joking.

I guess my dream for red seatbelts has gone out of the window now :-(

Just want to say thanks to all those who posted above! Just shows the power of a forum because I would have probably just gone out and done it, and wouldn't have thought about telling the insurance company! Obviously now, its so clear as to why they should know and the implications that it could have!

 :grin:

yeah dont waste your money on this and the white lights for the dash - put it towards some proper mods which will have some real benefit to the car - coilovers mate

these cosmetic mods all seem a bit pointless to me, each to their own though

The coilovers, WALK, ARBS and mounts are all already budgeted for  :smiley: Hence why I'm looking for some 'final touches' such as the belts and the lights. I've just seen from my fathers Porsche just how much difference the red seatbelts make to the cabin - hence my query. True, I could put the money to a quaife, but I think I'll explore that when I'm earning a bit more dollar  :smiley: :smiley: :jumpmove:
