Thanks

Ben

I went to Halfrauds to get mine. I think I paid £50. The same all small all seasons version is here My link but it's now £65

The small size fits perfectly. My only small gripe is that there's no fitting around the wing mirrors, which you do get with the more expensive covers.

Thanks guys I'll have a look at the stormforce one and the halfods one, bunsenburner, does the exhaust cause any heat damage to the cover?

I have heard tales of some people putting bits of wood to protect the cover, but I've never bothered. The cover is a little brown on the inside around the exhaust, but that's all.

I've had the cover for 6-9 months but the car has not been used much.

I guess only time will tell if I should have gotten that piece of wood

I have the Halfrauds cover and had it over a year. I don't have a hole like that. I leave my car about 10 minutes before putting the cover on

I was in a real hurry - going away for a few days and just put the cover straight on after a 45min drive. I knew it was a risk, but didn't fancy leaving the car on the drive without a cover.

I have the halfords one. I was a bit unsure of the fabric but its actually pretty good. I had the engine cover off and rain filled the cover into the boot. Lifted the water out with the cover and the boot was bone dry. Obviously works. My only gripe with it is that is susceptible to wear where the fabric rubs on the tyres if its windy. Mines a bit bobbly after 6 months.

I have cover-zone sahara & voyager used together only used once both for sale

[Anarchy]

Check out Ebay for the Halfords one, sure mine was only about £20.

[GiGo]

£14.99 from Pound Stretcher. It's been on for 2 days now, fits okay, but a bit baggy around the front end. Covers my diffuser as well. No complaints yet I may revise that in a week

I got one from Argos and am not to keen on it ,its a bit heavy and thick for regular use.Great for the real bad snow and ice or if its staying on a long time.

[NickH]

I used to use the coverzone stormforce, great cover and the customer service at coverzone is excellent, no quibbles if there are any issues. Nick

[Goosenka]

Bought mine of ebay for £30 and does the job. It was for my Mr2 mk3 but seems to fit ok...

[jbudgie]

Another vote for the Halfords one --did the job fine throughout last winters heavy snow.

[james12345]

Hamilton classic. Had it on all winter kept the paintwork pristine.

[Big Steve]

The one Joe Turbo had was lovely.

[Wolfstone]

OEM VX cover for me. Except I never use it as the car is kept in the garage. Also hard to come by and tend to command high prices as a result.





This is the outdoor cover but there is also a lovely indoor cotton dust cover. Not got one of those yet.
