Coloured seat belts.

I watched that earlier today, kinda looks decent for green belts tbh.
Funny when one of them says perfect colour match immediately followed by the other saying they're not but they'll do

Saw that and already planning a trip down at some point next year I think. Only an hour away from Silverstone so think it might be a good excuse for a road trip and track day.

That was funny, but to be fair I think it’s a pretty good match. Especially when you’ll never actually have the belts right next to the paint in reality.

I thought they were close enough considering they also have a matt ppf on the car, without it could be closer?

I’d be more inclined to have a edge stripe on them. Little more subtle.

I was thinking the same but I actually wonder if that would be too subtle without having any stitching or anything to go with it. So the alternative is red belts for my Daytona and then just get a red 12 o’clock put on the wheel.

Haha alot of people say that about the colour of the car anyway. They definitely brighten the interior
Lol I’d never have a bright green car in the first place…… just too much for me eyes

That seems to be the opinion of alot of "older" members lol
true…..British Gas Blue was as daring as I’d go….

I’m not tooo old (35) but think the green is a bit bright for me. I just don’t think that it’s a car which needs to shout, I’d leave that to the ASBO Focus RS’s and VXRs for my personal choice.
But I do like that other people have gone for green, turbo blue, yellow, etc. so I can look at them because they’re still fun colours.

I tried to buy a bright green Ford Focus RS in 2010, but the twonks at Altrincham Ford dealership weren’t giving test drives, and the one in the showroom was ‘locked’
Went down the road to Audi and got a test drive / bought a new S3 SportBack…….

Count me in as one of the older members but age has nowt to do with taste and bright green is an acquired taste on any part of the car ....l like the green design pack but not on a Kyalami Green car as that is too much ....av got a Riviera blue car coming whenever that will be but l wouldn't fit bright blue seat belts even though bright blue is more acceptable/common on cars .....interior changes on a RS3 8Y need to be subtle....I think

Funny because in the same year I tried to buy Focus RS and almost the exact same thing happened. Wouldn’t allow test drives and if I wanted one I had to pay the delivery fee to bring it to the dealership before even knowing if I liked the car…
Walked across the road and bought an Astra VXR instead.

Green belts but no green stitching? Rubbish imho. Wait for the RS design pack to be offered up, no doubt it will be for all us fools waiting 12m plus for a car

Lol I had one in 2008.
Great car until it met a bend…..then it got scary

Yeah! I think if I’d spent the money sticking an LSD in it then it would’ve been much better. Sticking a rear anti roll bar on made it 100% better as well.

With you mate. Green edging and matched with green stitching otherwise what is the point as @Terminator x says

I'm 61 and it was the only colour I wanted. Now I've got it I don't regret it at all.

I could go for that too
My vader spec would accept a splash more of red quite well - would compliment the red callipers.
Two person group buy?!
I didn't realise that they did solid red belts? What's the part numbers for front and rear?
The other point is that you'll have to install yourself and disassemble part of the seats, versus getting the belts and installation for essentially the same price as buying the genuine belts.
Stripe like in some you tube videos.
Lol not cheap
Available in Red/Green.

Wonder how long they’d take to fit… but pricey but not too high to put me off tbh.
I imagine with having to dismantle the rear middle seat and then essentially reupholster it would take quite a while to do right if it was your first time. I’d probably leave most of the day at least.

Agreed. The main 4 are easy to do. That rear seat though needs dismantling.
