I have a Bell Sport 5 Helmet that I use for track days. It has some OEM Bell stickers on it already, but it's very white.

Does anywhere sell sticker sets for helmets? Bell sell more of the same, but I was thinking of something more like the stripes you see on motorbike helmets.

I'd be terrified of failing scruitineering if i rocked up with a load of dodgy stickers on my helmet. Most folk get theirs painted if you want something a lot more personal.

You'll be fine putting some stickers on your helmet for track days. There is no scrutineering of helmets on track days

I ran several stickers on my helmet when I first started racing and even then scrutineers didn't really care. People have helmets covered in scrutineering stickers and can use them just fine.

I don't know of any kits you can buy, so maybe look into individual stickers and create something yourself.

You wouldn’t fail scrutineering but the scrutineer would be well within their rights to remove all the stickers to see if there’s any damage underneath.

Anyway the OP was on about trackdays. You can actually wrap a helmet if you’re patient/skilled enough, a mate of mine did this to his trackday lid and it turned out just fine.

The reason a helmet is likely to fail scrutineering with stickers on, is because how does a scrutineer know there is no damage the "shell" if there is a sticker on it. There has also always been a questions about if certain adhesives actually causing damage to the "shell"

For that reason I would not put stickers on a helmet, scrutineering or not.

As above, a sticker itself is not reason enohhh to fail scrutineering. Also it’s a trackday ffs
