I need/want to get a nice full cover for the Chimaera to keep it all snug and warm sitting on my driveway (when i'm not finding an excuse to go out in it)
any suggestions ?????
bought mine from classic additions - outdoor one with a lock etc. Now that I am hoping to get my garage sorted to use I might flog it if you are interested. Its fully breathable, soft inside etc. The one they recommended for regular outdoor use basically.

Oh
Just make sure that the car is bone dry when you cover it. I didn't and I've got some nice micro-blisters from water getting into the fibre-glass. Now that the minor leak I had has been fixed it's been fine with the cover off anyway. Almost a waste of £120...
Plus the locking kit doesn't fit properly so it flaps around and the 'car park permit kit' is a bunch of clear plastic and some plastic glue. You have to cut the cover to expose the permit if it's stuck to your windshield ffs...

I bought a Classic additions cover and have no complaints, it even stayed on in the high winds,even without locking it down. I did the same post a few months back hence my choice.
Classic additions might be the way to go

Why do you need to expose permit ?
I've heard before that a parking ticket cannot be issued to a car or bike thats covered such that the tax disc and/or number plate cannot be seen without moving the cover. Supposidly the warden is not allowed to tamper with the vehicle or cover.
Spot on, apparently it is illegal for them to move a cover - I was told this by my friendly council representative (after buying a permit I might add!).
BTW I also use a classic addition heavy duty outdoor cover and it's fine (tho a little baggy around the rear!)
Tip: I found that if you pull the front and back pull cords together and link them under the car using their hooks, then tie the door tethers to the cover eyelets rather than use the poppers, it is unmovable and you get good tension on it too (less puddles).

Classic Additions it is then!
especially after seeing all the ice on the car this morning
I've got a cover from:

It's an excellent fit, I bought it s/h and other than an application of Thompsons Water Seal, it's as good as new.
