Milesk Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Other than Demon Tweeks which is a good 5 hour drive for me, can anyone tell me of a good supplier in the south where I can buy race clothing Thanks Miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMarc Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Miles, For all the well known 'designer' suits (Sparco, OMP, Puma etc) got to Grand Prix Reacewear located in Chiswick and Silverstone. For the best value go to AWS in Asford, Kent. I know loads of people with these and they are great quality, irrespective of the price. Only downside is that they are 2 seconds a lap slower than the equivalent Sparco suit 😬 Marc Yellow flares and a X-flow - who said the 70's are over?

TheManAlive Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I've been wondering about the same thing. I'm based in Kent and want to go try on and buy a helmet, but can't find anywhere!! Drove up to BRands yesterday thinking there must be something there, but apart from stand21, a bespoke place (which was closed) there was nothing!!

Cheeseboard Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 www.rallynuts.com were good for me with a recent Arai helmet purchase, I believe they're supplied via DT Group (Demon Tweeks) - yet my GPK5 helmet was £75 cheaper than the DT catalogue when I got it in December. Based in Cornwall...which may be further to drive than Wrexham. Why don't DT open a branch near civilisation - surely a good business decision? (Apologies to those in Wrexham) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 DT will post a helmet to you to try........... If you don't like it/it doesn't fit they'll repeat the excercise until you're happy. I bought my race suit this way from them as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
