Evening everyone
Just been invited to a fancy dress house party for halloween, was coming up short for ideas but then i remembered iv got a white helmet at home so.........go as the stig, easy!
only problem is i wanna tint the visor on my helmet and need to find a white race suit so..
anyone know how hard/easy it is to tint your own visor? and where can i get some from? (darker the better!)
and any ideas on where to get a decent looking race suit from?? dont wanna spend a fortune either
cheers!

you'd be better off looking at ebay. race suits are mega money so second hand would be the best option.

I disagree about the scary costume thing. That's how it started I suppose but these days any fancy dress seems to be acceptable. I usually do something Halloween related but this year I've decided not to. You always end up dressed the same as every other fucker if you go as a werewolf, vampire, zombie etc.

you can go dress up as the stig whenever you want.
