They sent me test results from a classic car mag where they tested all the big players, they used very fine building sand and poured it on the cars with the covers in place-it apparently won by a mile and was the best fit too
it was voted 'outstanding'
classic additions was voted 'a fair cover at a fair price'
send them an email and ask for details of the tests

The guys that bought from Specialised car covers. did you say coupe or estate, as it could be as long as an estate with the whale tale, if you say coupe and give the make and model will they still take this in to effect with the size. ??

Do you have to ask for the badge? Or is it standard practise
