Those belts look great I need some red ones any idea what needed to be ordered ?
The belts were sent off complete with the mechanisms, the black webbing changed for red, and then returned ready to re-fit
 
A couple of small modifications this week. The steering wheel and gear lever boot are now how I think they should have come from the factory if going for alcantara interior with yellow stitch.

Big thanks to Brad from Hide and Seam (www.hideandseam.com) for his excellent work which I am delighted with. The yellow belts add a great dash of colour to the interior.
Nice. Do you know how much the seat belts were to do?

Not sure as I had a bill for these and the steering wheel / gear selector but I think it was around £200
 
I‘ve taken inspiration from @Gizmo750 (cheers fella) and had Brad at Hide and Seam make me a red-stitch gaiter.

He did it remotely from Gismo’s pattern if you all want to flood him with orders!

Glad to see Brad getting some more work from this post, he's a really nice chap and it's always good to support small skilled businesses, otherwise they will all disappear.
 
Managed to get some re-webbed belts and an alcantara gear gator to match the rest of the inside red stitching and car colour.

Car in my garage will try to get some better ones when it’s out.
Great job by Brad at Hide & Seam.

Colour I picked was Q-I in case anyone wants to know.

Looks fantastic! I've been considering green belts or black with a smaller green stripe for my Evora GT. The UK seller I was speaking with doesn't currently ship to US though. 😔

I thought about going with these guys on my Z. I decided just to use new custom sets instead of getting the existing ones rewebbed. Apparently they take your belt retractors and reweb them with new material. The reviews were good (on ebay too) but I didnt end up going that route. Located in USA.
I really like those yellow belts. My wife veto'd them immediately.
 
If anyone’s wanting to send the seatbelts away to be redone it takes around 1.5 hours to strip the rear to take both belts out.

Interestingly my car was an early build and was initially delayed due to some delayed interior trim…

Looks like they were in a hurry to ship the car out!
