Thanks to its factory geometry and original mounting points, the seatbelt tray cover allows for the restoration of the correct appearance and functionality of the seatbelt system after damage or wear of the original component.

The cover is made in black, allowing for seamless integration with the standard interior finishes of the BMW 1 Series F40. The neutral color facilitates integration with factory upholstery panels and other plastic elements around the seat.

Its placement on the vehicle is specified as the left side, meaning its shape, clips, and belt guidance have been optimized for this specific mounting position. This solution ensures:

• secure fitment with factory mounting points,
• stable belt webbing guidance during adjustment and fastening,
• aesthetic finishing of the seat area without visible gaps or misalignments.

Technical Support and Car Project Development

If you are modernizing or refreshing your BMW, it is worth planning interior work comprehensively. For broader modification and service projects, practical guides can be useful – for example, when analyzing structural changes and selecting parts used in popular models, it is worth looking at the article Legend of the Hot Hatch: Evolution of the VW Golf GTI from Mk1 to Mk8 – Structural Changes and VW Car Parts, which shows how manufacturers design and develop key components across car generations.

If you are planning more extensive work to improve cabin quality, you can find inspiration for selecting aftermarket elements – such as seats, steering wheels, or multimedia modules – in the guide Premium Interior for Half the Price: Used Seats, Steering Wheels, and Multimedia, which discusses the practical aspects of interior modernization using used components.
