If you are going to do more track days it would make sense to get you own lid.

Get a couple of fire proof balaclava's too to keep the helmet fresh.

+bag = approx £700.

Well worth it

Totally agree with Paul.

If you cant afford an expensive helmet, then try these sold by Dave form opentrack. I looked at these first hand and look great. http://www.opentrack.co.uk/page30.htm

Motorcycle helmets meet a different standard to race helmets and are not FIA approved, race helmets are much more expensive too, I am not sure what all difference's are but I was advised to get a FIA approved one.

Main difference's.

Race helmet fire retardant.

Designed for single higher impact than a motorcycle which is designed for numerous lower impacts.

Motorcycle helmets are normally not allowed on car track days, although my helmet has never been checked on a track day.

If you ever decide to go racing you will need a FIA approved helmet.

Hope this helps.

Had a couple of mods today

1. OEM cruise control retro fit - cant live without this !

2. Smoked side and indicator repeaters

3. OEM "TTS" LED DRL retro fit ... amazing !

these really lift the front end of the car into 2011

pics tomorrow as its too dark to capture

got black rings to go on the rear and black quattro badges for the front and rear

then its just wheels in titan to finish off the look
