Or a much cheaper option for you mate. I use this one from Argoose and only £35.





is a fully breathable cover with a zipped door on drivers side for easy access with out pulling the whole cover off and eyelest for your bunjy cords to hold it down.

ovbiously its a little short on the back bumper and rear wheels. but its quicker cleaning just the back bumper and rear wheel instead of the whole car.

Covercraft's covers are tested and approved by the world's leading car manufacturers. From our stocks of over 40,000 individual patterns, we mean it when we say, "whatever car you have, Covercraft's got it covered"
All our covers are tailor-made to fit precisely and they are elasticated front and back for easy use. Other features include double lapped, reinforced seams for strength and shape retention. All our outdoor covers are supplied with a storage bag and lock guard system.

Covers can be made from the following materials :


EXTREMELY HIGH WEATHER RESISTANCE
WeatherShield fabric is manufactured exclusively for Covercraft using Nextec patented encapsulation process developed for outdoor performance wear. This encapsulation process uses precision and controlled placement of proprietary polymers to make ordinary fabrics extraordinary. By placing an ultra-thin film around the fabric fibres this process created a durable breathable barrier within the fabric. Unlike traditional coatings and laminations that just protects one side of the fabric, this process places protective polymers inside the fabric!

The WeatherShield features are:


Best Weather Resistance
Water literally just runs off this fabric. This is so dramatic that in a recent demonstration we were asked if we were using "real water"! (It even passed hurricane testing to level 8 on AATCC standards!)

Breathable
Allows heat and condensation under the cover to escape easily.

Scratch-less
Nextec technology provides superior protection; tested to 1,000 cycles without scratching.

Superior Dry Time
Because the fabric sheds moisture, just shake it and it dries in minutes.

UV Resistant
Special additives prevent UV degradation and protect the vehicle's finish and interior.

Dust-proof
Patented fibre encapsulation process prevents dust from filtering through the fabric.

Small & Light
All this protection in a lightweight package that folds down so compactly it is less than half the SIZE of popular multi-layer fabrics, making this cover the only cover that you can really take with you anywhere without it taking up valuable storage space

Easy Care
Wash and dry at home.

NEW Multi-Coloured WeatherShield covers are now available! Put some COLOUR in your cover - There are six (6) new colours of WeatherShield now available in addition to the existing Grey and Taupe. You can now order them with a different colour for the flat surfaces (deck) and sides (or just order a complete cover in one of our new colours).

You can now pick your favorite colour for the "deck" (bonnet, roof, boot) and another colour for the sides to customize your custom cover. Choose from eight great colours listed below.


Black
Bright blue
Grey
Sky blue
Green
Red
Grey
Taupe



NOAH OUTDOOR BARRIER COVERS
Noah Barrier Covers are manufactured from a three-layered fabric which offers Exceptional Vehicle Protection. Snow, sun, rain, dew, dust, dirt, industrial pollutants, tree sap, bird droppings and other environmental hazards including acid rain are all kept away from your vehicle's finish. By sheathing together different materials, Kimberley-Clark has created bi-component fibres. The outer layer combines the softness of polypropylene with the weather and ultra-violet resistance of polyethylene. The inner layer combines polypropylene with a strong nylon core. The middle layer employs a micro-porous Breathable film which gives the fabric its amazing Barrier Protection but still enables moisture vapour or any condensation to evaporate away from the car's finish. This extraordinary new concept makes the Noah Barrier Cover exceptionally Soft for the protection of delicate paintwork but Strong enough to resist rips and tears and guard against knocks and scratches. Hand Washable, the cover is Light Weight and Compact for easy storage and daily use. Even if folded and stored wet, the material will not rot or support the growth of mildew.

Available in : Silver Grey



TECHNALON II COVERS
Technalon II covers are manufactured from Evolution 4 fabric. This four-layered material is designed to protect your car from the natural elements and more.

Water Resistant yet Breathable
It keeps out rain, sleet and snow while allowing air and moisture vapour to pass through, therefore preventing your car from "sweating".

Pollution
It stopss dust, dirt, acid rain, chemicals, pollutants and salt from harming your car.

Sunlight
keeps out the sun's damaging ultra-violet rays which can fade paintwork and damage your car's interior. It is padded to protect against knocks and scratches.

Avaliable in : shadow grey, desert tan & harbour blue



FORM-FIT
NEW Form-Fit body-hugging indoor covers. Soft, luxurious, stretch fabric follows the curves and contours of the vehicle - the inside of the fabric features 100% cotton loop sheared to a fleece-like finish.

Our most LUXURIOUS indoor cover...


Designed for cars that are not daily drives, Covercraft's new Form-Fit covers provide a body-hugging fit AND a super soft inside to pamper fine paint finishes.
We start with an outer shell of woven polyester that has Lycra/Spandex® added to the yarns to provide STRETCH and memory - the stretch provides the body-hugging fit and the memory assures the cover will retain its shape over an extended period of time. The sheared 100% cotton fibers give a fleece-like finish. The end result is a 7.4 oz sq. yd. material that has a great "hand", or feel.

This cover will provide some minor "knocks and bangs" protection for a car parked in the garage and the fabric is highly breathable to prevent vapor and heat from becoming trapped under the cover. Form-Fit covers are available in six (6) colors.


Black
Silver grey
Charcoal grey
Blue
Hunter green
Red

FLANNEL COVERS
THE ULTIMATE INDOOR CAR COVER
Our Flannel covers are the kindest-to-the-paint covers in the world. Two to three times thicker than other cotton and polycotton covers, this cover is also soft-napped on the inside. The "cotton wool" type underside will not scratch or mark even the most delicate finish. It Breathes so no moisture can be trapped under the cover, and it is treated to be water repellent. The fabric is resistant to mildew and rotting.

Avaliable in : shadow grey & desert tan


MULTIBOND

INDOOR COVERS

Our new Multibond cover is made from Sentrex fabric - a unique three-layered material offering SUPERIOR "in-garage" PROTECTION. The polypropylene fibres are soft and non-abrasive, guaranteed not to scratch or mark paintwork or chrome. A non-woven material, Multibond offers superior dust protection and keeps the vehicle cleaner than most woven fabrics. Naturally moisture resistant, this cover offers more protection than ordinary cotton or polycotton covers. At the same time, like the flannel cover, it Breathes to prevent the vehicle from "sweating".

Avaliable in : shadow grey


EMBROIDERY
For the finishing touch to your car cover, we offer personalised embroidery in two styles and a number of different colours. Covers can be embroidered with the make of car, model of car, vehicle registration number, personal name or initials..

Avaliable thread colours : black, blue, red, green, grey and white


REFLECTIVE PIPING OPTION
NEW Reflective piping now available for all pattern covers (except Form-Fit). The piping is sewn in the front-to-rear silhouette seam for added night-time safety. This clever option gives 500 candle power brightness providing night time safety.


£150 grey (interior) Multibond

They are rather tight though..... looks like a gay with tight jeans or something....

but still quality car covers none the less.

Personally im very happy to use my £35 argos one. If i had a garage where i could keep the cover nice, i would splash out.

Most cheap covers do more harm than good.
I was flown to Scotland once to polish out some scratches on a £1,000,000 Mercedes. Someone had used a cheap cover, that in the wind had be acting like a da disc, flattening all the paint down on the tops of the wings etc. Still I got a day out
