Do you guys find these totally waterproof though - I know they are not supposed to be and that they breath a little - but on mine the water soaks in quite a bit around the boot - because of the spolier - which makes the water pool at times. It then pours through onto the car

I have the same one as the saint and it is excellent. The only problem i found is that as you cannot fold the wing mirrors in on the Sapphire the pin bends and gives you droopy mirrors.
I have had one on my MK1 Fiesta for about 7 years and it is starting to perish in a couple of places now, but has served me well.

Hi Mate
Thanks for your advice, I rang Classic additions and got me self a breathable outdoor cover for the sapp. This one is a generic one thu, but the chap said it will fit perfectly and do the job. It was £107, but im an RS Owners club member therfore it worked out £97.12.
They were well frendly and helpfull too.
So once again, a big thanks to u mate for putting me in the right direction, as i was thinking of getting one from argus, juckly escape.
Ps, Nice sapp u got there 2...

I had exactly the same cover as the saint very good quality but when I got my house with my garage I gave it to a mate, I've proper mugged myself off should have bayed it, Classic editions do make quality covers, here is a pic of my indoor cover which I got at a Granada club national day, thankfully I kept it and its gone to good use clothing the cossie while she is garaged

I bought a Monsoon Stormforce one, it's about £150 and is good, but the under body straps have rather flimsy plastic clips, one broke the first time I used it. However I've kept using it, it's damn good bar the flimsy clips, waterproof and breathable. When strapped on nice and tight it's a really good fit including wing mirror pockets, yes it's one that's model specific.
