Default C7 seat belts in a C6

I don't venture into the C7 section often, but because nobody in the C6 section knew I thought I would throw this question out here. Does anyone know if the orange seat belts from the new C7 will fit in a C6 Grand Sport? Thanks very much.

I don't think they will fit. First, the outside belt mounts to the seat slightly differently than the C6 belt does. The C6 outside belt is keyed where it bolts to the seat so it sits at a specific angle while the C7 belt end is eye let on the end of a cable where the belt is mounted to the seat. The C7 belt is designed to be behind the seat trim on the side of the seat. I suspect the inside belt tensioner doesn't mount the same way as the C6 belt tensioner mounts as well.
