Default Waterproof car covers

Any one recommend a fitted cover for a saff?
Are the stormforce covers good?
Any pictures of them fitted, please share.

Halfords mate. I have had one on my car for 2 years in all weather. Doesnt leak or cause condensation.

I want a fitted cover that can be removed quickly when I want to drive it. Waterproof of course.

Just sold a Hamilton Classics cover I got when I bought my M3 - I only used it as a dust cover in the garage but was an outdoor one. It's got a lovely fleecy inner lining so doesn't damage the paintwork (well didn't on my machine polished paint anyway)

Not cheap at Ł165 ish for the Saff but worth it if your car lives outdoors.

Cheers. I have an indoor cover just need an outdoor one for when it's out of storage. That looks a good option.

I had one from Halfords about 7 years, it was a universal one that I bungee strapped down. After 5 days of a bit of wind etc I took it off and it had rubbed the paintwork.
Im going down the expensive cover route.
Cheers for the pic. Anymore pics anyone?

Looks good, similar to what I have as an indoor cover.
Anyone tried these?
