Was it the right size? <br>Um, had it been in any accidents yet?<br>RED? Hey sell it to Steve S- oh wait his next car is Nogaro Blue, that would clash huh.<br>:)

She said she'll put yellow or black dots on it and make it look like a lady bug :-P She really likes the bug (NB). <br>Hopefully the helmet is in good order. I'll probably get it in my hands next week. It's a 7.5" just like my M1 which I got for $100 more. So I know it should fit me ok and wobble around my GF's smaller head :-)

Then you can drive around with 2 BUGS in the car....<br>A Y2K bug perhaps? Yikes that's not funny in black & white print.<br>Yeah, the borrowed helmet I had in previous events was a bit too large, but the one's I'm looking at for myself are 7 1/8 to 7 1/4, which is between small & med depending on the manufacturer. Been in to try on helmets twice, going again this weekend if they get my sizes in.<br>It's not as bad in the car, but on a motorcycle a size too big will have your head bouncing around inside the helmet (youch).<p>How about some orange & yellow flames on the helmet, the "on fire" look? Or go with a theme, like black stripes & be Darth Maul from Phantom Menace?<p>Know anyone in the Bay Area that does painting? I'd like to get the audi rings, some words, my name, SOMETHING on my new one also- can't stand the white dot look. <br>

Try a local sign shop -- I had vinyl lettering done for my name & some Audi Sport decals (smaller versions of the ones on the rear fenders of my car in the thumbnails).

Hey, I like that Darth Maul Idea he he he. I even saw an email of Kenneth from South Park looking like that Stars Wars evil Jedi.<p>BTW, There are a lot of size 7 helmet auctions on EBAY. I was lucky that there was a 7.5 and it happen to be an M3. Now I have an M3 in my A4. In fact, checkout Arai Helmet listings. There is one auction to expire today with a 7 - 7 1/4 size. My next choice if I didn't win the Bell.
