I think I've seen every type of seatbelt holding device the world has to offer now! Those TT ones looked quite promising, but I think I'm going to go with the BMW Mini items and then strengthen them. They seem like they'll give the most 'factory' look I think. Will be interested to see how you get on with the TT items :thumbsup:

Front camber seems the same in the sheets (give or take 0.02 degrees or so). How much did kwik fit charge you? Need to get mine done again. Car feels all over the place :headbang:
Hi mate got the geo plan £130 unlimited visits for 2 years so room for plenty of tweaks after any work done :thumbsup:

bz4kev first trying to sell me unheated seats, now fragile seatbelt clips...I'm going to have to watch out for you I think! :o :wink: I'm aware that they're a weak product, hence the hopes that a little reinforcement might make them viable :) They're only £29 new inc. postage so I'll have a pop and see where I get :thumbsup:

They look very neat and should be a good solution :thumbsup: Hopefully they will have a small grub screw to tighten them into the headrest bar to hold them steady.
I look forward to seeing them fitted.

I'm confused, how are these going to work if you don't have a headrest post on your seat? Isn't the hole supposed to sit inside the post?

Hi enzed4, these seat belt guides are being used as a solution for people who’ve replaced their standard SE seats with E46 M seats, which have an adjustable headrest with 2 chrome posts.

Mot passed. Slight play on bottom ball joint so I've ordered a pair of wishbones.
