That is amazingly cool - want want want! Tunnocks teacakes are my second favourite biscuits. My first are tunnocks caramel wafers. Mr Boyd Tunnock and his family firm would be very proud, they are real petrolheads.

Well done sir!!

I E-mailed Tunnocks and asked if it was OK to use their design as they had copyright also did they have any artwork if they didn't mind?
I recieved a reply informing me that painting a crash helmet to resemble a giant teacake was an excelent idea! and that they hoped the enclosed pdf was of some help.

The web address of the company that painted it is on the back of the helmet.

ETA I've just noticed the weight painted on the side is the weight of the helmet and not a teacake!
