Hi Streetmann

I always buy X-Lite helmets they are the same company as Nolan and as you have highlighted they never have the gold sticker. Does not mean that they are bad helmets just never have the sticker. I have done all of the main tracks Silverstone, Cadwell park, Oulton Park Donington etc and have never been questioned. Been to Llandow many times and not been a problem. Even went of a foreign track day a few years back at Parc Motor and do issues there either.

So think your good and would not panic.

As a 4 star rating on the Sharp helmet test your not going far wrong.

My LS2 and Schuberths haven't got them, never been questioned. Decent helmets so no problem.
I suspect would only be questioned if there was obvious damage on a helmet.

ACU gold stickers off fleabay are not official but fakes. May as well use the kids felt tips to draw one on, but it will keep any over zealous scrutineer happy. With covid still being real and not a myth I suspect scrutineering, if any, will be half hearted.
old and disgraceful so doing what I can while I can before I can't
