Helmet e mail

Just receieved this e mail today, helmet seems to be black and not the colour of the car, as ive not ordered a black GTR

Quote:
Hi James
Info on Helmet.

1 What colour is the helmet: black
2 Is it a name on: yes (the customer's name will be on the helmet bag)
3 Helmet material: It is a Complex Laminate Construction Shell (CLC) and ''Hyper Ridge'' reinforcement for more stiffness. Removable earcups and visor with integrated, removable, smoked anti-glare sun shielding strip. Extensive, adjustable ventilation ducts. The special polystyrene inner shell combines different densities for greater comfort and more gradual impact absorption. Also features a changeable Nomex fire resistant lining and yellow Kevlar chinstrap. Snell SA 05 approved.

Please contact your dealer to make sure you get the right colour on your car and get the to change it in the system/webpage etc.

Kind Regards - Claus G. Pedersen

Motoring Supervisor

could well have been a concierge e mail, i rang them about a week ago asking them what colour the helmet would be. Not sure is its an official e mail.
All the ones i've had have been from NissanGTR or News GTR
The sender of this e mail was from Claus G. Pedersen.
seems real though.

Based on that description its an Arai

From the Arai website ..

The Arai GP-JET/f is an open face helmet constructed with the Complex Laminate Construction Shell (CLC) and ‘'Hyper Ridge'' reinforcement for more stiffness. Removable earcups and new ‘'Hyper-T'' visor with integrated, removable, smoked anti-glare sun shielding strip. Extensive, adjustable ventilation ducts for added comfort. The special polystyrene inner shell combines different densities for greater comfort and more gradual impact absorption. Also features a changeable Nomex fire resistant lining and yellow Kevlar chinstrap. Perfect for closed cockpit saloon car racing. The GP JET/f comes standard with fitted HANS anchor clips. Snell SA 05 approved.

Quite an expensive helmet! £325 ish!

Just to check as I've had two different answers today, is our name on the helmet, or the bag for the helmet?

Got to be very careful putting after market stickers or paint on helmets as it can cause damage to it and then lose the helmet rateing.

So i would imagine it will go on the bag..

I would hope so for a couple of reasons:-

Don't really want my head in a helmet that someone else has had there head in - Health and Safety...
and the bags / helmets with writing on would have to be thrown away..
