Hi. after a lot of thinking and looking (and convincing the wife!) I have decided to take the plunge an get my first ever Chim. Only stumbling block now is where to keep it.

I don't want it kept outside so it has to go in the garage. However my garage is only 2.1m wide.

What do you think? a tight fit maybe, but is it possible?

any opinions welcome!

The official is 1865mm. Plus the mirrors, it is in reality about 1890mm. However, this will leave you about 20cm of width and due to the thickness of the doors, I'm not sure you'll get in out out. You could always climb out of the roof, or get out first and push the car in.

Garaging is a definite IMO.

I believe that width you quoted includes the mirrors.

It's a good few inches narrower than a Vauxhall Omega which was a real squeeze down the side of my house. It's also less wide (by about 30mm) than a Boxster.

Many garages are less than 2.1m wide so you should be OK, although tricky to get in and out it being so low!

is that the interior dimension or the door width?

I had the same issue with my garage, purchased a tent from Dancover, see them on the web, car is on concrete with the tent over works a treat and is very strong (withstood the winter gales) I also have enough room inside to have recently installed a 2 post lift, think I paid abt £375 for it.... just an alternative you may consider
