No sorry, but maybe you have to reproof it once in a while with Gortex spray or fabsil spray???? Like a tent?

sorry, I think I need my eyes testing. £289 for a car cover

£20 from Argos and keeps it bone dry and fits the car like a glove.

Agreed!

I bought one from Argos for £20 in the summer, they are up to £25 now the winter is near.

I agree. I bought mine from argos too, £20, it's weatherproof, fits snugly and does the job perfectly.

This is the one [url]www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7409594.htm[/url]

It comes in a nice bag too, but just try folding the cover up again to fit back in!


I also looked at their dearer (£39.95) one but it seamed so thin I thought it might tear or blow away.

It was a present from my Sugar Mummy....anyways are all S owners such a bunch of skinflints....why don't you try sellotaping a bunch of black bin liners together and undercut Argos ...Paul.


nope, not skinflints, just would rather spend the money under the bonnet or on track days rather than spend £269 more than I need to on a cover. Besides, its only pikeys that dont have garages

Methinks you are right...the blurb said a cold wash or no more than a 30 degree warm wash.... well thats what it got, a warm wash and i believe that may have degraded it's water repellant abilities...which is why I'm onto the suppliers....still no reply to my emails though...yet.

I'm a skinflint too.... Paul.
