Carefull doing this as if the cover moves about in the wind you end up scratching the paint were the cover touches... I know this from experiance!!

Hi Arabianjules,

Off topic, there is a Chevy Lumina for sale here in the UK but it is right hand drive. Yours appears to be LHD. Is it not consistent across the middle east? I spent some time in Khobar but it was 10 years ago and I can't remember.

What would an 03 Chevy Lumina 4 door SS 5.7 cost in Saudi?

Yep - the only option is something more akin to a tent with rigid supports rather than a run of the mill car cover.

Yeah, covers are pretty nasty. Use too have one a few years ago, but think the car was more protected without it. In saying that you would probably want to keep up the polish on her.

So which compound are you on? You probably already know him but seek out a guy named Gary Monks...on the Dunny compound! He has a 4 door black Lumina SS & knows what upgrades etc to get, & where to get 'em from. He's also on here as 'Saudi SS'
