Has anyone put an aftermarket 3-point seatbelt in their MINI. I don't have a problem with the stock seatbelt itself, but I thought it would be cool to have a red seat belt (since I've decided red/black aftermarket seats are a bad idea due to the airbag issue). Please share if you have. I'm still looking for a good store (found a few with lots of options), and trying to figure out exactly what specs to use.

 

Just to clarify. I'm just looking to put in a 3-point retractable seat belt like the stock one, but red. Nothing fancy.

 

I did a quick search around the web and didn't find anything but black. Places like Seat Belt Planet and Seat Belts Plus offer to refurbish your existing belts by replacing the webbing with a color of your choice but that would leave you without seat belts for awhile. Have you considered a local trim shop and having them replace your webbing? Obviously you would need to remove the belts first which will require removal of the B pillar trim and the inner side panel in the back seat. Good luck.

 

Thanks for your reply. I guess I didn't really think this through, because when I had the bright idea of red seatbelts, it didn't cross my mind that I'd have to remove trim to get to it. When I realized that, I turned to the forum! That makes me a little nervous. I wonder how much the dealership would charge to install them for me if I take them there--if I can find some (I think I have, I just need some specs to get the right ones). I already have them lined up to put on my aftermarket wheels when my MINI gets there
