I want to be The Stig for Halloween

...but I don't have over $1000 to buy a full, real Stig costume Not to mention, that'd be a tremendous waste of a very, very nice racing outfit.

Things I need:

1. White helmet with polarized visor or reflective blue visor

2. White baggy jumpsuit, preferably a racing type jumpsuit

3. White gloves

Now, my issue is finding said items at reasonable prices. I don't want to spend over about $100. Can anyone help me make the cheapest Stig costume?

Well... you CAN buy one. Then after halloween you can start joining track sessions and what not. That way you can be stig all the time. Make your moneys worth... and kill two birds with one stone lol

OR if he has black one.. you can always be the black stig

I have the white helmet, but the visor is clear. No white gloves or racing jumpsuit. Sorry.

Good luck finding everything for under $100.

His suit consists of mainly Alpinestars gear and it's very pricey.
