Hi Guys,

I'm looking at getting an outdoor cover for the 350C.

I've been looking at the Covercraft WeatherShield @ 300 quid. It seems to fit super snug and looks nice and I can also get it in black.

Or would someone recommend something better or more cost efective. I've seen others (universal size ones) for much cheaper, but I'd really like the cover to be tailored to the car so that it doesnt wip around in the wind etc.

Cheers for any help?

Dom

I have an outdoor cover for mine which is tailored and am quite happy with it, although it has more recently started to let some dampness through. However its a couple of years old now and may need to be treated with something i guess. But generally i have no complaints. I'm not intirely sure which one it is but i think its the Covercraft Noah. I would say its worth attaching a fabric strap under the middle though to stop the wind getting under it.

Hi Dom, I have had the Covercraft Weathershield just over two years, very pleased with it, but you have to be prepared for some effort. Always needs to be put of a clean car, preferably straight after washing and drying. It also has a tendancy to lift over the nose in windy conditions, even with the supplied cord across the middle of the car. It's just the smooth lines of the T350! It's easy to do a mod to attach a second cord, but two cords adds a few minutes to the ritual of taking the cover off or putting it on. But it does exactly as stated and keeps it very keep and mostly dry.

I'm looking for a good indoor cover. I'm traveling so much at the moment my car only gets used once every 2 weeks at the most (currently in US for 3 weeks for example).

Doesn't need to be posh or too tightly fitted. I've used to dust sheets in the past, but they tend to slip off.

Any recommendations?

How big a job is it to modify the cover like you have stated?
Cover looks lovely!

Two hundred quid. Plus VAT. Kinnel.

I was thinking more 60-70 quid.

£50 - one on Ebay- workes well, not had any problems with wind, but the car is in a sheltered spot.

I am in need of a decent indoor cover aswell and was thinking of the TVR Power one. 200 notes seems quite a lot but if it does the job right and for a long time its worth it. Has anyone got one and can recommend or otherwise? Thanks!

Think that must be the only post on covers I've not read over the last few days.

Got a TVR Power cover today and it is a real quality piece of kit (if a bit pricey) fits like a glove and looks great in Black/purple with the embroidered badges.

Shame to cover her up but she still looks very sexy in her new pyjamas!
