Hey mate. Sorry to hear about your troubles.
You could try Mitsubishi in Adelaide CBD (cannot remember their name at the moment). I know that Luca has bought a lot of little things from them (new) in the past.
But I am surprised the rear seatbelts would even have been looked at...
Shame you live so far away - don't suppose you'll be coming down to a cruise any time soon!
Best of luck!

why did they pull you over in the first place? sounds like police harassment. Do police even have the right to pull you over for no reason?
Does anyone know the original size of the FTO steering wheel? was it larger than the typical aftermarket MOMO sports steering wheels? if the new wheel is the same size it shouldnt be a problem I'm pretty sure.

Police can do any random "breath" test as much as they please, & that’s a good enough reason.
Anyway I believe his FTO color is some sort of gold, so that’s would be why it attracted the cop's attention.
