Got mine pretty cheap mate.
Less than half the price of a basic Sparco/Arai helmet and looks much better

Mike/Adz - If any of you actually get under and work on your car yourself then you'll see the last bit of the heat-shield around the fuel tank is made of slightly different material from the rest.
The 2 offending metal shields from the manifold flange to back of the centre pipe have been removed and the fuel tank cover left on here
I almost never carry a full tank and the last bit of pipe is being heat-wrapped soon also so there's nothing to worry about tbh.
My fuel lines are actually checked so they wont pop off and piss fuel all over the road mate
Also mulling over the idea of getting the tank modified but thats gonna be revealed soon.
