CliveH Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 They look awesome! Well, I would say they wouldn't I Seriously, they look really good against the grey interior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxob Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Well they're very red! Surely blue would have been the coordinated option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 nah the blue is a "mid blue" and would almost clash...IMHO. I too am bias, but like them against your grey interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Looks great. Don't see red against grey leather too often either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the red and grey look great together, and your seats look like new! Are they original to the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike G Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thank you for the positive feedback so far , I had hoped they would be well received My only error was , I switched the ignition on whilst I had at least one of the pre tensioners un plugged and it triggered the air bag warning light which I got reset by my local indie this afternoon for a drink !!!

My 987 was pretty much "as new" at ten years old when I sold it to a friend, who continues to enjoy it as much as I did. I would put this down to really high quality materials being used in their build. I hope that more recent models will age just as well, now that VW's bean counters control the purse strings. Interested to see what my 981 will look like in 2025 (better than me, probably...☺) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to see what my 981 will look like in 2025 (better than me, probably...☺) Yes agreed, I had a 987 with sand beige sports seats and the quality was exceptional.... to be fair my car has been looked after by its previous owners and I don't think much of the car has been exposed to sunlight as its clearly been garaged a lot of its life. There is minimal bleaching on black trim, if any. Added to which it is quite low miles for a 986 at 42000........... and almost as young as a 986 can be Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXY Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 They look terrible, BUT as a favour to you I will swap them for my Black Belts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geraintthomas Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Where did you get them from mate? I have a black boxster with graphite grey interior like yours, and was really interested to see how they'd look. This just confirms how awesome they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres the link.... they are top money but the ones I got were perfect and if you go to his website ,he does freepost and they are a bit cheaper. Also , he will send you a return label to send back you're black belts as a trade in for £ 50.00 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Porsche-Red-Seat-belts-Boxster-986-/191906259933?hash=item2cae8123dd:g:uDkAAOSwaB5XiSGF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveH Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 That's where I got mine from and they were perfect too. I think the price is reasonable considering new ones are over £500 and these are almost as good as new. As for trading in the black ones, I would have thought they'd fetch £100 elsewhere (like eBay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutley Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Has made me consider getting brown belts to match my Cocoa interior. Doesn't seem an OEM option though? Any alternatives'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex24v Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 I quite like the silver belts that Porsche offer. Not sure if it would be an exact match for GT Silver, and may show up any dirt quite quickly though I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
