Ive got a frayed seatbelt on my 09 V8V convertible. Just looking online at astonmartinbits.com and they are selling them for £500.

Dose this seem right, i know my experience with parts so far has been expensive, but this seems excessive.

Dose a Jaguar part fit instead ? Or are there any alternatives ?

Is it badly frayed Tom? If it's just a little bit fluffy along the edge give it a few passes with the old Remington shaver, some people may frown at the idea but I've tidied them up this way before!!

Seems pricey, but personally if I had a knackered seatbelt then it would be replaced, it's cheaper than head surgery if you go through the windscreen. Some things I'm not bothered about, but anything safety related then it's belt and braces for me.

From memory, seatbelts on any car are damn expensive.
