Is that for pink ones?


In all seriousness, what colour do you have now and what colour do you want?
(Can't help with your question though, sorry)

Yum! I would like to change mine for yellow ones! I've seen £350 per side quoted before ......

Easy to do if you do buy the parts from opc but as mentioned above ask Kwick fit in north London for a quote.

Quickfit used to charge under £80.00 per pair (any colour, even pink) including VAT and `signed for` returned delivery, takes about week and they do a great job.

This is if you send the belts to them... I believe that they also remove and refit them if you take the car to them, but I think this costs a bit more.

quickfit sounds like a good idea, but how to ensure they use the same yellow as OEM?

I assume £422 parts price from Porsche is the whole mechanism, and the quickfit price is just the belt ..

If you are after the whole mechanism, then you are looking at quite a bit more...

they will post you a sample of the belt for you to confirm they have loads of shades of most colours

It's a factory unit round the back near the tube station. I left my car there for two days and it's very secure once locked.

had the yellow belts fitted by OPC this morning .. very happy with them.

the £422 price for the pair is for the whole mechanism, including the pyrotechnics, retracting thing etc ..

as a result, I have a spare pair of black seat belts.

Sorry, but seat belt colour change!

[Ray Singh]

These chaps were brilliant when i needed a seatbelt lengthened to go around a car seat. They had plenty of different colours too.
