Red Seat belts again (hooray!)


Withy

Recommended Posts

I've missed the red seat belts in my 987 since I got my 981 (it was plain black belts from factory), so for Christmas my daughters got me the eBay guy re-web.  I chose colour 7 from him and refitted them today.  Very cool I must say, and as @Gedo spotted ages ago, such a small change really lifts the cabin somehow

Yeah it does lift the interior a bit, looks good, though wouldn’t go with my Blue car.  Has anyone had belts done in a blue?  I do wonder if a blue would work as well (or just look naf?)

I've seen silver in a blue car that worked.

Hi Withy, looking at the colours on his eBay page his #7 looks quite a bit darker than yours do in the car. Sure it wasn’t #17 perhaps?

yup, positive - I got a 7 and 8 sent  as samples (can get these here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Seat-belts-Any-car-Many-colours-order-colour-samples-of-webbing/282987890431?hash=item41e36486ff:g:YYcAAOSw0W5aHU-Z:rk:2:pf:0 £1.50 so you are sure).  When you see the sample for 7, you'll see that the colour representation in the eBay listing is pretty bad.  I was pleasantly surprised with the colour which 7 came through as in reality - I'd say almost identical to the real Guards Red ones I had in my 987

I’m tempted to change mine but how easy is it to change them?

I was a bit daunted to be honest as I was a bit nervous about taking them out.  I used this guide and made sure that I had the right tools (must get the spline /triple square socket - I got this one from Amazon

The post above is a bit cr@p as you can't really get the pictures, but if you register on planet-9.com you can see some low res pics and zoom them out a bit) https://www.planet-9.com/members/t-design-14055-albums-seatbelt-change-981-718-diy.html  some of them are clickable and some aren't. The important one for me wasn't clickable - there are little orange tabs which disconnect the seatbelt sensors, they need to be pried up then the yellow connectors just pull off (excuse quality, this is pinch/zoom from a Mac and a screenshot)

That silver looks great but I fear they would soon look grubby? Especially as mine is a daily driver.

I think that depends on your personal hygiene. Surely the only grub comes from your hands. Hopefully your clothes won't be grubby?
