Title: Car cover
Post by: djtez on July 05, 2011, 02:20:36 PM
Anyone using a car cover?
Are there any specially made to fit the coupe?

A don't want a cheap gimic cover from halfords but at the same extent a do not want a £100 cover... Happy medium

A have bird etching and some oxidation and am going to detail then cover it up.

I have one on my G40 cheapo from halfords cost £30 does the job only problem with it is the wind blows it off the car but my mates expensive one he nicked(borrowed) from his dads tvr does the same.

but this is easily solved with some long straps or string!

i have used it in the snow, hot weather, rain not noticed any problems with it and its the perfect shape and size for a polo fits really  well.

i do remove the cover once a month as my G40 is my shed but it works great keeps the neighbours happy.

You can tie rope from one side to the other under the car or bungee strap it to the wheels, etc to stop it floating away. Worked on my KTM for about 18months 'ti the cover wore through on the end of the bars, mirrors, etc. lol
