But as I said, I'm guessing. I'll never make that enquiring phone call to find out either!!!

I think Lewis just has an Arai GP6-RC carbon lid, with standard aero bits as supplied by Arai....I remember reading about Heikki's when he was at McMerc, he had the same, and all the extra bits were from Arai's standard range...
The GP6-RC (including aero kit) will set you back about £3,300...plus painting you would probably be looking at about the £4,000 mark. I think Jason Fowler still does Lewis's lids, has done since his karting days...
Lewis's lid on Carjam....
