Outdoor Car Cover, does anyone have one they want to get rod of or can anyone recommend a reasonably priced new one?
Cheers, Corin

Cheers for the input, a Carcoon however is not an option to be honest!

CBS option is just a little cheaper.

Still, those carcoon jobbies look pretty cool

What car is it for? I've got a Halfords small car cover (covers my VX easily, the 1er is about its reasonable limit) that I may be willing to part with for a crate of beer...

I was going to buy one until I heard a car cover moving about in a reasonable breeze does more paint damage than the combination of rain/dust, etc that an uncovered car will gather. I opted for a seriously tough wax instead.

Bomber, I see your in the SW, I got mine from Trago Mills (about £20ish as I remember), at that price its cheap enough to throw it away when it gets dirty and get another. Bottom corners are elasticated and has eyelets and string for tie down.

THIS ^^^^

If you are going to put a cover on a car that is stored outside then you will wreck it unless you have a fleece style inner cover under the weather cover.

Thanks for the input guys, it's only for the 944 on the drive so just might just get a cheap 'fitted' cover from Ebay.
