Title: Seat Belt Pads
Post by: superted on July 11, 2009, 23:53:09
My wife bought some great seat belt pads for her Zafira on ebay. Looked everywhere for i30 or Hyundai ones - to no avail. Anyone able to help? Preferably UK source?

Avater got lost in the ether when the site when down... still grieving...
Seat Belt pads are basically soft long pads that go on the seat belts giving more comfort to the shoulder and your chest. My wife has some very smart ones with the Vauxhall design on. As well as being very practical they improve the interior look of the car.

I agree, they're horrid things. My ex used to insist on having one in her car and using one in mine, but the one in my car always came off as soon as she wasn't sitting in it.

Horses for courses though.  :D

That furry one looks gay, in the gayest sense of the word. Much like those sheepskin covers folks seem to like in Aus  :rolleyes:

Just an opinion...

I second your opinion.

It looks gayer than two gay guys in leathers having a kiss in a gay bar.

Not, of course, that there's anything wrong with that...  :wink:

Don't like sheepskin covers either. Maybe my ancestry is showing through. Don't like many of those supposedly "Australian" things...  :rolleyes:

Wouldn't be without my sheepskin covers on a cold winter morning - my wife and kids feel the same way (Ugg Boots of course)

Now this whole sheepskin Aussie thing.......................

Mark Webber is an Aussie.
He is the first Aussie driver since Alan Jones to win an F1 race and good on him, a popular victory indeed.
He drives in the hottest places in the world with the engine at his bum and the radiators at his kidneys.

He DOES NOT use sheepskin anything and therefore is obviously a real man (not in a gay way you understand)

 :D :D :D :D :D
