I'm looking for a helmet for my boyfriend but cannot find what I'm looking for.. The lid I want is gunmetal grey with large white teeth at the bottom of the lid and where the visor is it looks like black glasses. Please help where can I get this made or is there funny face helmets available as I can't seem to find any to buy just images. people have advised me maybe vinyl wrap a lid but not sure where to get this done??

What your boyfriend is after is most likely a helmet that has had a custom paint job done to it by a company such as these (standard google search)

Knew I'd seen it somewhere, it's a custom paint job but I can't paste the pic from my phone..it's on Overclockers.co.uk

In google images try "Overclockers custom helmet" and the second one is a red version but I've seen a grey on that site too.

Hope that helps.

The helmet you're describing is probably the custom paint job on the Simpson Bandit helmet. Click here for link to the image.

IIRC nearest off the shelf with teeth is the Shark.
Found one online - example click here.

I seem to remember one of the more budget helmet makers did something like a 'Flying Tigers' homage but probably now old stock and out of season.

For wraps might be worth looking at HelmetSkinz.co.uk (clicky link) although I have not tried them and cannot vouch for the quality, service, etc.

To have a go at creating your own have a look at the US site SkullSkins.net. Same caveats apply as I have not used and I have no idea if they ship to the UK.
