what should i write on my seat belt

[dale325i]

please dont slate me or stone me for this, its not everybodys cup of tea i know but ive brought 2 new seat belts, in electric blue i think they will look well smart in my car as the seats and door cards are in black and electric blue leather, and my mommo steering wheel is part electric blue with monno embroided in yellow, So what iam thinking is where you pull your seat belt across you, i was thinking of having yellow writting embroided into the blue seat belt going through the middle of the belt from top to bottom, But iam thinking what to put in there, Ie,, 325i sport or bmw 325i or M-Tech or M-Tech sport, anyone care enough to come up with some.

is embroidering belts safe? maybe a pad would be better?

[Ant]

good call Dom, not 100% I'd want my belts modded, stitching will afect the way the belt would behave when you really needed it, could cause it to snap where the holes have weakened it, or maybe stop the embroidered section from stretching to decelerate your body weight.

I'll check the legalities for you Dale , but I must advise this is a bad idea M8

could be done with a slim sleeve over the belt , similar to the pads Dom mentioned but without the padding

Oh, and Dom cheers for the PM earlier this week, action has been taken M8

[Widge]

The other thing is the stiching, depending how thick it is, may stop the belt going back in to the inertia reel. Flapping belts = MOT failure.


PS electric blue and canary yellow are my two leas favourite colours, but I'd go for 325i Se/sport whatever unless it really is an M3.

[johnono]

go for "if you can read this , I`m too close!"

Would look cool, dont forget to do it in reverse though

or...................

"i have too much money"

[E30Adam]

What about red M3 belts?

[dale325i]

Hi Ant & Dom, didnt really think about the legal side of it, but iam not worried about that Hi Widge

may stop the belt going back in to the inertia reel. Flapping belts = MOT failure.

thats a good point,

PS electric blue and canary yellow are my two leas favourite colours,

just as well its not going in your car then, Hi Craig,

or...................

"i have too much money"

or i have to much credit Hi Adam,

What about red M3 belts?

good idea, but that would be a major colour clash, you should get yourself on changing rooms

[andyp]

I think it will look naf mate to be honest,

[dale325i]

Hi Andy, you could be right but if it does then i will just swap them back, you never know til you try

[andyp]

Yeah i suppose so, try and see.

Sure you'll be worried about it when you (or even worse your passenger) go sailing through the front screen when you have an accident because you've weakend the belt

the chances of that are very very slim to nothing, and i cant see how my passenger going through the window screen and not me as being worse, i would call that a result the lettering is only going to be about 1/2 inch in height and about 4 inches in lenth with about a 4 inch gap inbetween each block of writting, so the chances of my seat belt falling to bits just isnt going to happen
