What car covers do you have for outside use? my car sits on my drive at home untill I build a garage that I havent started yet (lack of money ) so what car cover would you recommend for all weathers

Whats the length of a Mk6 RS2000

Was looking at these http://www.frost.co.uk/productList.a...ctive%20Covers but know nothing about them

Halfords also sell the car covers for about £40 http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...tegoryrn_31406

Could do with some info/advice on this if anyone knows

Cheers
Steve

 

without a doubt the best you can get are the Hamilton Classics Moltex covers imo!

 

This one http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/produc...&pcode=HAMLCWM

 

Classic Additions do very good covers and RSOC members get a discount to.

 

I reckon you'd need this one:

Cheers do you need to be a paid member as Im only a standard member of RSOC? what discount would I get?

They sell them for the RS2000 Mk6 this is the price:
Total for the goods in your basket: £123.20
Plus Delivery Charge to UK: £7.00
Plus VAT: £22.78
Total to be charged to your credit/debit card: £152.98


The Moltex one from Demon Tweeks 4.10mtrs would cost TOTAL COST (inc VAT) £108.63

Would 4.10mtrs be ok and is the classic additions one worth the extra money as they seem similar just want to get things right before I order the wrong one

 

I've got a Classic additions CUSTOM cover & IMO the only one you should be considering.

It was about £190 but is 100% fitted to your specific car!

 

just got a classic additions cover from a member off here, not fitted yet as i need to clean the car first but does look good and it has the mirrors built in also.


Steve.

 

So Classic Additions one is the best then

I will have to enquire on RSOC for discount on this aswell then

 

You get 10% discount i believe. I saved £25 which paid for the membership.

 

I have made a post on RSOC to find out how to get the discount

 

this is the one i use

 

yes mate that one on tweeks is the one, its the fuckin bollocks keeps my kit car dry whatever the weather and breathes

 

What type is it

The only thing with that is it says its water resistent but the classic additions says its water proof and I live up north by the sea and the lake district where it rains all the fecking time

 

I don't think Classic Additions do custom outdoor covers.

 

just done a check online and got this

The following H/D Waterproof Cover is available for a FORD ESCORT RS 2000 MK6

C O V E R S
Please note that the prices below do not include VAT or Carriage. The VAT and Carriage charges will be calculated when you go through the checkout.


H/D Waterproof Cover - Size M £ 123.20

 

It's not custom for your car though, i.e. It's not tailor made to exactly fit your car. M is just the best size for your car.

 

Correct,they dont do custom outdoor covers.They fit well as they are elasticated at each end

 

I wanna get one for mine but will prob get pinched round here lol

 

so whats the best one to store ur car in the winter?one of those cocoons?

 

carcoon. leave all windows open, charges battery and keeps it bone dry even in rain and winter dearer than those above but car stands in it like a tent . best £400 ive spent

 

where do u get them from fella?

 

Classic Additions DO do custom outdoor covers as mines currently sitting under one. My Dad also had them do outdoor AND indoor tailored covers for his FRS, M3 and Z3 M Couple.

The one mentioned isn't tailored to your car, thats just their best fitting universal one.

Being breatheable they do let a bit of water through but they're designed to be like that to prevent other more serious problems apparently.

there you go

 

cheers for this

 

Are they specially made one-offs then? As they don't advertise them on their site.

 

Trust me mate its waterproof! sometimes when i leave the roof off on the kit car, and we get heavy fuckin rain the cover has a pond over my cockpit still dry inside tho and besides, ur car wont melt anyway if it get a bit damp lol, they are breathable which is what you want as said above, you dont want it 100% waterproof like plastic

 

Give them a bell, they do custom indoor and outdoor covers.

 

cheers

 

How much was a custom outdoor cover then mate?

 

£190 mate, not cheap but if you are getting one then its worth getting a proper fitted one! Especially as my FRS spends 90% of its life under it these days.

 

To be fair that's not much more than one of the normal ones. 90%? I reckon it's a little more than that mate!
