Eek! Replacement seatbelt drama!

My dog has eaten my rear seatbelts. In my work car. Which I have to give back to the boss's wife.

It's a Subaru Justy (new style - ie Suzuki Swift with a Subaru Badge). The garage have estimated (get this!) between £40 and £300 per belt, not including work! I'm waiting to find out exact prices but these parts are apparently hard to come by.

Anyone got any ideas of what I ought to be paying and whether there's a cheaper way ...? Tried eBay to no avail :cry:

    rear belts are not normaly to bad, i suspect the price was a best and worst estimate, front belts can easily cost £300 because of the pre-tensioner mechanism, but rears rarely have this, it will also depend on the colour and wether or not they will supply just the part you need,often you will need to buy the belt and stalk as a set.
    also try a subaru forum often they have there own online shop or some one might just have some.
