A bit of googling and you might also like to look at SkullSkins - their street skins offering.

Couldn't find a list for a UK importer/distributor.
Also FWIW $100 AU is about £50 GBP

The SkullSkins is in US dollars, about $65 inc shipping ($10 international + $8 ship/handling) for cover and visor, about £40 GBP

Can't say what the tax position is on being hammered for VAT if opened by customs here as I've no idea what category they would come under. If it's classed as clothes than maybe someone can confirm zero % (I honestly don't know Confused).

thanks, it was just an idea for people to change the look of there own helmets for cheap rather than spending maybe about £150+ just for the sake of looks

They look pretty cool.

Been trying to see if anyone from the UK has imported one but failed. Sad

The checkout of the SkullSkins side does allow international (non US) shipping. Therefore I'd assume they'd send it via mail or courier service internationally.

Could be old fashioned and contact them just to make sure - details from the site (if you go there there's a submit email form)

Found this from the uk:

https://www.helmetskinz.co.uk/index.php

But looks like only doing offroad style at the moment.

I saw a rider on a quad on the road with one of the skull ones the other day. A bit cool and slightly ghey all at the same time. Smile

VAT is charged on adult clothes anyway, so it wouldn't make any difference. Only children's clothes are exempt.

I saw someone on a cruiser yesterday take this to a new level.

He had a full latex mask on (a skull with horns) over his helmet. Laughing

Got a nod off him as well. Razz

Hi guys,

I just wanted to introduce myself as the owner of www.helmetskinz.co.uk. We're currently updating our website with new products, including some UK exclusive designs, but in the mean time please feel free to browse the site or email me at sales@helmetskinz.co.uk. We offer both onroad and offroad designs - to see the full catalog take a look at the Street Skinz section on www.motovationracing.com (the US site) and get in touch with me if you see one you like. We are able to print numbers/names on any of the skinz, and can even print totally custom Skinz for groups/clubs etc!

Many thanks,

Dom
www.helmetskinz.co.uk

PS - I apologise if the above is seen as advertising etc, it was aimed at answering the questions above!
