Car Covers

[bing]

Hi folks,

I am about to purchase a 111r, the thing is I don't have a garage right now hence the car will be kept outside. It will really only be used on the weekends and some evenings!!! Can anyone here recommend me a good quality outdoor car cover please.

I've just looked at this one and for the price it seems pretty good:-

thanks

I have one of their 'custom indoor' covers, which I'm very pleased with. It's a good quality product.

I included a car cover with my purchase - the lotus cover is brilliant.

I also have bough previously a Classic Additions custom indoor car cover - excellent company, excellent product and excellent service. I would definitely go to them again!

They might not be the cheapest - but that's for a reason, their product really is good

Anyone have any experience of the outdoor Carcoons? Considering one for the new purchase, as there's no garage space...

If it's an outdoor cover you're after make sure it's breathable and is one of the good ones. It needs to fasten well under the car or will flap about all over the place, and should have a nice gentle fabric inner which does not scratch or mark the car.

Personally I wouldn't bother, and instead would fastidiously clean and wax it each week.

When I used to use a car cover on my last car, it was on a 'second car' - and so everytime the cover went on, the car was perfectly clean. If it wasn't clean, I'd leave the cover off until I'd cleaned it. Any minute bit of grit would put awful scratches across the bodywork.

So, as Tim says, especially as it's going to be outside, how about simply being festidious with the cleaning - because every time you put the cover on, you'll scratch it

There is alot to be said for covering the car, it stops alot of unwanted attention. The lotus cover has "ELISE" in big friendly letters so it defeats that point. For me the cover is there to stop / deter unwanted interference as well as protect.
