Title: Outdoor car cover
Post by: Rushy67 on May 27, 2021, 07:24
My Roadster unfortunately has to live outside and i currently use a Halfords all weather cover which has worked well, but i am looking for something more tailored with wing mirror pockets.
I live in a very windy part of the south west and feel my car would benefit from a "neoprene type elastic material cover,"
Does anyone have any experience of the "custom covers" available so i can be pointed in the right direction. I realise some are very expensive but renting a garage near me can cost 1k a year and thats if you can find one.
I appreciate the problems car covers can create, ie paint damage etc so please keep the thread to experience of custom fitted covers.
Thanks in anticipation

Have a look at the Coverzone storm force covers.

I'm always dubious of the claims of "fitting" a specific car when the photos never show the car in question.

There's this one:

You mean the same one I posted above from Coverzone...but cheaper on Ebay.

Yeah, they all look rather generic. Even the link I provided too, although they did go to the trouble of showing a picture of an MR2, even if the cover isn't on it.

My effort for less than £30.
