use the cash to build a car port, car cover will leave scratches.

I bought 1 off eBay used it for 3 winters doesnt leave a mark on the car, i make sure the car is clean and waxed before putting it on, think i paid £25 for it, has extra bits to go round mirrors so it fits nice and snug

I think that's the same one I've got Simon, as long as they have a soft lining they'll be fine.

i just got a cover in argos about a week ago for 26 euro its works grand . . i think most nylon covers will leave scratches if your putting it on and off a lot, if you have the money you can get custom ones made which are very soft and wont scratch at all.

Lob a few old bedsheets over the car first if you can't afford a plush sheepskin lined cover. Just clean all the crusty stains off them first, it's guaranteed to damage the paint.

Carls is just indoor iirc but yeap, an excellent fit.



I've got a couple of Hamilton Classic, breathable fleece lined outdoor car covers. Highly recommended.












As Simon said, always give the car a good clean before covering it.

Those aren't car covers, that's snow. You, my friend, have been taken for a ride.

Doh and all this time I thought they were being protected. That will explain all the rust on the floor then.
