something like that would make for good outward visibility, as you cant turn your head as far round as a bike

just pop into any decent bike shop and try a few on. They usually have the bottom of market ones for about 50 quid ish... Hein Gericke are very good as are J&S... if you explain that it's actually for driving a kitcar & doesn't have to offer major protection as if it was being used by a bike rider, then they should point you in the direction of their cheapest lids

on the J&S site, i got that takachi one at the top, £50, and bike racing approved

Arai saved my brains being spilled a few times.

Very expensive for a kit car lid, but well worth the money.

With a Kit Car though, you dont necessarily need full face, as its just the wind you need to protect from, and the roll over bar if you roll over. Top back and sides are the most at risk areas.
