Visiting London - Good places to shop for Porsche/car parts?

Hi all, sorry for the slightly OT post, but I'm in London for the next few days and was hoping to pick up some stuff while here.

Does anyone have any good addresses for parts and such? I'm looking for track gear in particular such as Arai, Piloti, Stand 21, etc.

Can't believe how common Porsches are here!

Anyone? Anyone? Bueler?

Most racegear outlets are near the circuits, well away from London. However I suggest you try Grand Prix Racewear in Chiswick. http://www.grandprixracewear.com/

This is about 20 mins west of central London by cab, I think Gunnersbury is the nearest tube station.

Thanks, appeciate the input.

For others looking, most of the gear places (as Shoestring7 mentioned) are located well away from London. The most I found (e.g., Awesome GTI, etc.) are located near Liverpool. That's like a 3 hour drive, or something like that, from London...

Mail order it is, I guess!
