Shoei 18.08.527.0, intended for X-SPR PRO helmets in this colourway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat comes in the bag\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the product photo, 18.08.527.0 is the visible forehead cover only, in Proxy TC-11. No screws, seals or inner parts appear in the picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eColour check\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScreen colours vary, and so do helmets that have spent years in the sun: an older shell may have faded slightly compared with a new part. That is normal and not a defect. The new upper air intake comes in Proxy TC-11, exactly as Shoei lists it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe job of the part\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening above the visor is where the X-SPR PRO takes in most of its air when you are tucked in behind the screen. The cover frames that opening and holds the adjustable slider. Together with the chin and cheek inlets it forms the front half of a layout with seven inlets and six outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorkshop or do it yourself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork carefully, with the helmet resting on a soft surface. Plastic lugs break more easily when cold, so do the job at room temperature. If you are unsure, leave it to a specialist dealer; a broken lug means ordering a second part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen a replacement makes sense\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear builds up slowly: moving parts start to feel loose, edges fade or chip, the print wears at the corners. None of this is dangerous on its own, but it does affect how well the vent works and how the helmet looks. A fresh upper air intake fixes both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eModel and version\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe upper air intake belongs to the X-SPR PRO, Shoei's race helmet with ECE 22.06 road approval and FIM homologation. It is not interchangeable with other models. Shoei lists it under the code XPRO; for the X-SPR PRO 02 separate numbers exist in some cases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shoei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54089998991626,"sku":"18.08.527.0","price":49.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/shoei-x-spr-pro-upper-air-intake-proxy-tc-11-replacement-forehead-vent-1.png?v=1794239706","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/shoei-x-spr-pro-upper-air-intake-proxy-tc-11-replacement-forehead-vent","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
